FT letter: The economist’s blind spot

I recently wrote a Letter in the Financial Times (snippet above) on the limits to Daron Acemoglu’s argument about liberalism, technology and the working class. You can read the full Letter here and Acemoglu’s original piece here.

I also recently wrote a related (but longer) op-ed on the mainstream understanding of technological development in the Norwegian newspaper Klassekampen. Read it here.

Debate with Norwegian Marxist

Following my book review of Anwar Shaikh’s Capitalism – Competition, Conflict, Crises, I ended up in a debate with a Norwegian philosopher (and Marxist) about Shaikh’s labor theory of value. The debate took place in the Norwegian newspaper Klassekampen.

Here is the exchange:
Anwar Shaikh versus seriøs teori (Jørgen Sandemose, May 30th 2016)
Seriøs teori (Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven, June 1st 2016)
Om en uholdbar «verditeori» (Jørgen Sandemose, June 8th, 2016)
