We're about to enter a new chapter of capitalism. Where we eliminate labour from the productivity equation. GDP will not be tethered to labour, meaning it will become unbounded. It's gonna get weird fast.
For those looking for more details, I've compiled some thoughts here with my AI:

🧵1/ As #AI transforms labor markets & drives productivity, it's essential to understand how this may challenge the traditional notions of GDP & capitalism. Let's explore the implications with a balanced view, referencing key economic principles. #Economics #GDP #Capitalism

Robert Louis Stevenson’s #shortstory ā€œThe Bottle Impā€ was first published (in English) #OTD, 8 Feb 1891, in the New York Herald. It was originally published in #Samoan translation as ā€œO le Fagu Aituā€ in the missionary magazine O le sulu Samoa (The Samoan Torch)

1/ Allow me to share a simple spiel with my economist friends about digital currency.

I'll preface this very carefully. A lot of economists love numbers and systems, naturally. Sadly, most of the economists I met analyse things through the lense of the current system.
#economics
2/ Meaning that they will analyse things under the assumption that the underlying framework and mechanisms are the same.

That's fine 99.9% of the time and over time, specialization will do this.

Alas, we are in a time where the framework will be radically changed.
3/ Therefore I ask of you, if you want to play along, to consider things under a principalled or fundamental lense. In essence, what new rules a new framework would entail and then start juggling with these.

Let's learn a few things about Behavioral Economics and Behavioral Science

🧵

#EconTwitter #AcademicTwitter #phdlife @PhDVoice #economics

(1/9)
Behavioral Economics focuses on how behavior affects economic decisions and outcomes, while Behavioral Science focuses on the study of behavior more broadly and its influences across multiple domains.

While they are related, they differ in their scope and focus.

(2/9)
Behavioral economics (BE) emerged as a response to the traditional assumption that people are perfectly rational and make decisions based solely on self-interest. It recognized that people's decisions are often influenced by factors such as framing, heuristics, and biases.

.@FT's @sarahoconnor_
I also think that making economics more understandable is a worthy endeavour, especially right now....Because the profession suffers from what Andy Haldane, former chief economist at the Bank of England, calls a ā€œtwin deficitā€, of understanding and of trust.
@FT @sarahoconnor_ "In a UK survey in 2019, 40 per cent of respondents said it had become more difficult to understand economics."
"Part of this is a translation problem. Most economic concepts are not complicated, but they’re couched in a language that makes no sense to people who don’t speak it."

You can be forgiven for thinking the Great #Inflation Story is how a pandemic, a senseless war, and #monopolistic price-gouging temporarily drove up prices, prompting calls to crush workers and suppress wages in order to "reduce demand" for goods:

Net Cash Flow is an important metric many investors look at when researching companies.

But do you know that cash flows can be easily manipulated?

Let's see how:

#investing #finance #FinancialFreedom #Accounting
The Cash Flow Statement is one of the three most important financial statements of a company.

The other two being P&L Statement and the Balance Sheet.

Balance Sheet shows us the assets and liabilities of the company and is very important to look at when analyzing cash flows.
Cash position of a company has an inverse relation with Assets and a direct relation with Liabilities.

For e.g., you BURN cash to acquire an Asset. So when Assets increase, the cash position DECREASES.

On the corollary, an increase in Liabilities INCREASES the cash position.

(1/3) A corporate tax is a tax levied on the profits of a company/firm, and is paid on a company’s taxable income. Corporate taxes are collected by the government as a source of income.
(2/3)These taxes are based on taxable income, after expenses have been deducted.
Corporation Tax is an appropriation out of profits from business, interest on securities and dividends of the company.

This mornings rant is about #paidfamilyleave in Colorado & how #voters overwhelmingly passed FAMLI

[& employers can now register for CO’s new program finally; employees max 12 weeks of paid leave a yr + 4 additional wks for #pregnancy or #childbirth complications]

#copolitics
Let’s get 1st thing straight - this 🧵 is no insight into the near 15 yrs #advocates fought for #paidfamilyleave at the CO state Capitol before #voters passed it on the #ballot

I, like many folks - came into the advocacy for #FAMLI yrs after lots of fight. Grateful to have it
Many of us worked on the #ballotmeasure in 2020 & #voters approved the program by 57% of the vote ✨ the amount of barriers set in place to #advocate for #paidfamilyleave & #pass it & then #implement it - have been eye opening šŸ‘ to say the least. #copilitics

Why have #schoolvouchers programs persisted and expanded despite a more lopsided base of objective evidence against them than nearly any other current #edpolicy #education initiative?

A few reasons 🧵🪔

1/
First is that today #schoolvouchers activists are directly part of the larger #trump-style revanchist and anti-democratic turn in American politics since Obama’s second term.

Politically their success is intertwined.
2/
But as a policy matter too we see #schoolvouchers linger around even as #education research has tried to place itself in an #evidencebased position to inform policy.

If evidence were all that informed #edpolicy then vouchers would have been dead a decade ago.

We start with a talk by SFI President David Krakauer:

"Would anyone care to guess why we're so GOOD at building transistors and so CRAP at designing drugs?"

"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."
"I'm going to pick on economics, because we like to do that at SFI. 'Ooh, look at that cover! So techy. Global, heat maps...' But here's 'Networks' [in the textbook]. THAT'S IT. Here's '#ComplexityEconomics.' NOTHING."

Do you believe there are significant differences between #Economics and #Tokenomics of #web3?

Can we simply apply what we know from #Econ101 to tokens and become successful investors and buidlers?

We asked a Tokenomist to find out! 🧵 šŸ‘‡ Image
#Economics is a social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services that focuses on the behavior and interactions of economic actors and how economies work. Economics is PREDICTIVE: Given rules, what outcome can one expect? Image
#Tokenomics is the study of token supply & demand dynamics, behavioral mechanisms, and incentive design. All characteristics are programmed and the outcomes can be observed transparently on-chain.

Tokenomics is DESIGN oriented: Given desired outcomes, what rules does one create? Image
