to do with the tragedy of the commons and how to elicit cooperation while facing the possibility of a common catastrophic risk the drawing i came up with is loosely based on the style of the ancient greek vases and depicts old atlas getting some help from a few enlightened mortals the dice are an obvious reference to probability and risk and the graph on the bottom left comes straight from the paper itself there is very little acuracy intended on the world map geography was sacrificed to design and the deadline a hecatomb if you will to chronos and the muses the drawing was used as an

essas empresas recusam se a pagar a taxa actual e pagam aquela que querem ver instituída ou seja a taxa legal é de 23 mas eles pagam 6 na mesma sim só porque lhes apetece o dn como já é habitual prefere usar o eufemismo golfe teima em pagar 6 se fosse eu a teimar pagar uma taxa inferior á legal chamava se a isso fraude fiscal mas para os senhores do golfe é apenas teimosia da mesma forma que um pobre é louco e um rico é excêntrico ao crime dos ricos chama se teimosia ou não será isto a aristocracia a liderar a desobediência civil a dar o exemplo à revolta popular sigamos então o nobre

big thaw learning from the vikings everyone was working for the banks from the physicists to the philosophers one icelander told me i met two women in their mid 20s who said that when they graduated from college virtually all of their classmates were jockeying to get into finance when money was easy he said innovation was at a minimum in the country the prevailing sense was that it was a waste of time to invent things yourself when you could just buy innovation from someone else the boom gudjonsson concluded made us lazy thinkers when iceland s economy hit rock bottom and the entire country was seized by panic was also his son s 16th birthday i went up to my boy and i had already congratulated him on his birthday but then i said congratulations you will now be able to live in a society which is closer to realizing what it is i pressed grimsson asking why exactly he was so happy for his son after this grimsson replied he had a much better chance of growing up to be a real person instead of a vapid airhead iceland s big thaw nyt we can learn from these vikings for years now we have a lamentable brain drain going on a whole generation of physicists turned quants earning a living through ruinous voodoo mathematics literature majors in outbound sweatshops selling fraudulent investments philosophy majors speculating in real estate a whole people eagerly emulating a certain presidential candidate with a dead hamster on his head and another inside it at an even more insidious level those who nominally remain in creative professions feel obliged to spend a lot of their time nursing stock portfolios and worrying about market strategies guilty as charged how can you not as everyone does it you feel you must do it just to stay in the same place now that finance is a byword icelanders have a chance of putting their creative brains to use meanwhile in the eu and the usa it is still in finance the stock market and the banks that we stupidly set our hopes

2011 gibbon but its fall was announced by a clearer omen than the flight of vultures the roman government appeared every day less formidable to its enemies more odious and oppressive to its subjects the taxes were multiplied with the public distress economy was neglected in proportion as it became necessary and the injustice of the rich shifted the unequal burden from themselves to the people whom they defrauded of the indulgences that might sometimes have alleviated their misery the severe inquisition which confiscated their goods and tortured their persons compelled the subjects of valentinian to prefer the more simple tyranny of the barbarians they abjured and abhorred the name of roman citizens which had formerly excited the ambition of mankind and the imperial ministers pursued with proscriptive laws and ineffectual arms the rebels whom they had made if all the barbarian conquerors had been annihilated in the same hour their total destruction would not have restored

you out of your home and in compensation it will make it cheaper for the guy who takes your home from you when you are desperate enough to sell for peanuts the imf ec ecb wants more renting and less owning but wait if a house is rented it still has an owner what they mean is that the owner won t be you let s use the word compensation in a sentence kids the vat over milk is going up in compensation the vat over golf courses is going down true story in the mother tongue segundo o dn o imi o imposto que pagamos por ter uma casa vai aumentar mas está tudo bem porque esta subida vai ser compensada com uma diminuição do imposto sobre as transacções onerosas sobre imóveis imt antiga sisa pago pelos contribuintes no acto de compra da casa isto não é a minha especialidade alguém corrija a minha ignorância se for o caso mas parece me que sendo que o imt é um imposto sobre as transacções de imóveis pago pelo comprador parece me difícil que compense alguma coisa à típica família que todos os meses vai pagando o seu empréstimo e que anualmente vai pagando um imi agora mais elevado talvez compense no entanto os especuladores que nos próximos tempos achem por bem adquirir imóveis vendidos ao desbarato por essas mesmas famílias as medidas acordadas pela troika pretendem desincentivar a compra de casa e incentivar o aluguer tudo muito razoável mas pensando bem se há casas para alugar alguém será dono delas parece me bem que o novo jogo é cada vez termos menos donos cada um deles com mais casas talvez por isso seja adequado aumentar o imi e em simultâneo retirar os benefícios fiscais para espremer os actuais donos ao mesmo tempo que reduzimos o imposto que os novos compradores terão que pagar para recolher o sumo dos espremidos é um exemplo de tu vais perder mas não te preocupes em compensação eu vou ganhar outro exemplo icónico desta definição da palavra o iva sobre o leite vai subir mas esta subida vai ser compensada pela descida do iva sobre os clubes de golf ps actualmente existe uma isenção de imt para quem compre um prédio para revenda no prazo de três anos o que já favorecia os especuladores daí que me pareça que o propósito desta medida será facilitar a vida a quem pretenda adquirir imóveis para fins mais pemanentes following the money smells like a concentration of rentiers posted by antónio araújo at 20 16 1 comment email this blogthis

percentage of income going to the top 1 percent nearly tripled since the mid 1970s not enough eighty percent of all new income earned from 1980 to 2005 has gone to the top 1 percent not enough the top 1 percent now owns more wealth than the bottom 90 percent not enough the wall street executives with their obscene compensation packages now earn more than they did before we bailed them out not
