Muddling through the poly-crisis
The world is on fire
There are so many different crisis happening at the same time that commentators have taken to referring to the poly-crisis. None of these crises are new, really, but it is still overwhelming to witness the multiple ways that humanity is failing to take care of each other, big and small.
This space is an experiment. A place for me to lay out evidence about what’s really happening in the economy, and to figure out what I think about it. A search for clarity.
I look to understand the poly-crisis from the perspective of workers, using the tools of economics. It will be mostly focused on Canada, but of course in the context of the global nature of *waves vaguely* all of this. There will be charts. There will be critiques of capitalism.
While I am doing this for me, I am also hoping to connect with others who are looking to put out some of the fires we are seeing engulf our communities. I used to do this on twitter, but it had become far less useful for that sort of thing even before the billionaire bought it.
