The Bad PlaceThe New Republic | Pope Leo’s Vital Message About Work in the Age of AI by Timothy Noah
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Timothy Noah’s article highlights Pope Leo XIV’s new encyclical, which re‑asserts the “dignity of labor” as essential to human identity at a time when AI and billionaire technocrats—exemplified by Elon Musk’s vision of a work‑free future—are promoting the elimination of many jobs as a societal boon. Noah explains that, for the pope, work is more than a means of subsistence; it shapes personal development, community contribution, and cultural vitality, and its removal would cause “anthropological regression” and deepen social inequality. He situates the pope’s message within a broader historical tradition, citing Keynes’s early‑20th‑century prediction of leisure, past papal teachings on labor, and civil‑rights rhetoric from figures like Martin Luther King Jr., while warning that without a renewed respect for labor’s dignity, AI‑driven profit concentration will exacerbate poverty and undermine social peace.

Keynes e i 90 anni della sua "Teoria generale". Alla ricerca di un’altra economia
Fino agli anni Trenta del secolo scorso il mainstream della teoria economica si basava sull'assioma del mercato capitalistico che si autoregola, ottimizzando le risorse disponibili. L'economista ribaltò il quadro. Meno conosciuta è però la sua visione di un modello alternativo, libero dalla "signoria del dollaro" e controcorrente rispetto al rapporto tra progresso tecnologico e orario di lavoro. L'intervento di Tonino Perna
Wisdom in SpaceThe difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones, which ramify... into every corner of our minds.

“By a continuing process of inflation, Governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.”

The love of money as a possession -- as distinguished from the love of money as a means to the enjoyments and realities of life -- will be recognised for what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity, one of those semi-criminal, semi-pathological propensities which one hands over with a shudder to the specialists in mental disease.
