Podcast appearances and mentions of paul cockshott

The co-hosts expose a real-world case of spurious correlation—the correlation between industry-level “values” and “prices,” drawing on chapter 11 of Andrew's book, Reclaiming Marx's “Capital,” and “Christianity versus Alternative Faith Bases,” his parody of the value-price correlation “studies.” They discuss why the value-price correlations are spurious, who started value-price correlation mania and why, what it has to do with Karl Marx's actual value theory, how Andrew became involved, and more. He refutes objections to his findings made by Paul Cockshott & Allin Cottrell and by Emilio Díaz & Rubén Osuna. Plus current-events segment: Razing Arizona—and the US? Near-total ban on abortion resurrected by Arizona's Supreme Court. Anne Jaclard joins the co-hosts to discuss the implications. Radio Free Humanity is co-hosted by Gabriel Donnelly and Andrew Kliman, and sponsored by Marxist-Humanist Initiative (https://www.marxisthumanistinitiative.org/ ).

Episode 11. Computer scientist, esteemed Marxist economist, and communist theoretician Paul Cockshott discusses the history and practice of economic planning with Michael Acuña, as well as themes from Paul's influential book Towards a New Socialism. *DISCLAIMER: The views of host do not necessarily reflect those of the guest.  Music by Karl Casey @WhiteBatAudio --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/common-ruin/support

For this interview I spoke to Dr. Phillipp Dapprich, a post doc at the University of Potsdam in political theory who did his doctors thesis on socialist central planning studying under Paul Cockshott. He recently published a paper titled Tokens make the world go round: socialist tokens as an alternative to money.During the interview we spoke about why socialists are interested in economic planning, his proposal for using non-exchanging socialist tokens to facilitate a socialist economy for consumer goods, and some potential technological implementations of it. We also discussed how Phillipp's proposal differs from labour vouchers and why there would be no taxes under socialism.If you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

The worsening climate situation reveals the inability of the market system and of economic policy to deal with what conventional economics calls ”externalities”. We are faced with hard material constraints that any viable alternative to capitalism must be able to deal with. For example, we must produce a diverse basket of basic consumption goods, a certain number of hospital beds, and so on, while maintaining 10 gigaton per year net carbon dioxide sequestration. This challenge bears many similarities to problems considered in the study of cybernetics. One qualitative change from the socialist calculation debate of the 1920's is the invention of the digital computer and the internet. The rising computer-literacy in the population enables democratic computerized planning that can coordinate individual workplaces on a large scale. Our aim with this talk is twofold: on the one hand, to spark renewed interest around the potentials and challenges of cybernetic planning, and on the other hand, initiate development of and experimentation with such methods in the real world. The talk begins with a brief history of planning, from Marx and Engels to Otto Neurath and Gosplan, and to modern thinkers like Stafford Beer and Paul Cockshott. We then go on to discuss how computerized macroeconomic coordination can be carried out that takes into account explicit material constraints. Such a system can continuously adjust recommended reallocations of productive resources, adapting to changes in the real world as fast as information can be put into the system and as fast as people can react to the suggestions provided by the system. We identify maintaining viability as a key necessity of any post-capitalist economic system. By contrast, the consequences of runaway climate change is laying bare the inability of capitalist market economies to maintain viability. To turn a neoliberal slogan, there is no alternative to planning!

 Paul Cockshott is a Scottish computer scientist, Marxian economist, and a reader at the University of Glasgow. Since 1993 he has authored multiple works in the tradition of scientific socialism, most notably Towards a New Socialism and How the World Works. In this interview Cockshott discusses how he came to be a socialist and his understanding of the Cultural Revolution.

Está é uma versão com tradução simultânea para o português. Tradução simultânea de Paul Cockshott feita por Bhárbara Camargo. Tradução de Gabriel Carvalho e Diego Sestito feita por eles mesmos. Nesse episódio, Diego Sestito e Gabriel Carvalho recebem Paul Cockshott (professor associado da Universidade de Glasgow, na Escócia, pesquisador das áreas de ciência da computação, economia marxista e econofísica) para falar sobre os desafios enfrentados pelo chamado "socialismo real", as experiências socialistas do século 20, em sua tentativa de transição para um novo modo de produção, a saber, o comunismo. Além disso, Paul fala sobre os tokens de valor-trabalho de Marx e a possibilidade do cybercomunismo, um novo arranjo tecnológico de produção para atender à necessidade da economia planejada e alcançar o comunismo.

Este episódio está disponível legendado no Youtube. https://youtu.be/VEQFtt3ZE0c In this episode, Diego Sestito and Gabriel Carvalho have Paul Cockshott (reader at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, researcher on the subjects of computer science, marxist economics and econophysics) on the show to talk about the challenges faced by the so-called "really existing socialism", the socialist experiences of the 20th century, in their attempt to transition to a new mode of production, namely, communism. Also, Paul talks about Marx's labour value tokens and the possibility of cybercommunism, a new technological arrangement of production to fulfill the need of planned economy in order to achieve communism.

Today we are joined by Paul Cockshott, author of "Towards a new socialism", his latest book "How The World Works", and member of the MTT steering committee. We take a trip with Paul through a windy trail in Scotland that takes us all the way to eastern Europe through the 70's, 80's, and early 90's. From there we dig into why Poland ignored the value form and the problems this lead to, finally landing on the topic of how Paul came to think up the solutions he put forward in his book "towards a new socialism".

This episode, we have a discussion on the basic ideas upon which Marxist economics are built. Who knew Marx knew about supply and demand?? We also have an extended current events in which we talk about the wins of self-avowed socialists in Congressional primaries, as well as the extremely powerful brains of both presidential candidates. Paul Cockshott video on labor theory of value: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emnYMfjYh1Q Twitter.com/RoomOnFirePod Facebook.com/RoomOnFirePod

Scottish computer scientist Paul Cockshott and his devotees have frequently portrayed Marx as a proponent of their own “labor theory of value.” But a recent essay by “RV,” (https://paulcockshott.wordpress.com/2020/05/17/guest-post-pauls-theory-and-marxs-theory-of-value-a-response/) a young Belgian activist and theorist, has exposed sharp differences between Cockshott’s theory and Marx’s actual theory. In this interview, RV explains to the co-hosts what the differences are, why they are important, and what impelled him to push back against the efforts to “force Marx, at all costs, to hold” Cockshott’s theory. They also discuss RV’s suggestion that we should let these two different theories contend, to “see which one better stands the test of reality,” how Cockshott is likely to respond to this suggestion, and why RV rejects the “empirical evidence” that supposedly supports Cockshott’s theory. In the current-events segment, the co-hosts discuss the calls to “defund the police” and proposals to reform policing in the US. Can policing indeed be reformed? If so, what reforms are possible? * ~ * ~ * ~ * Radio Free Humanity is a podcast covering news, politics and philosophy from a Marxist-Humanist perspective.

This week we welcome back Paul Cockshott to the show, where we discuss his 1993 book ‘Towards a New Socialism’. We discuss a possible vision of how a future socialist society would work. Lexi from the 'Swampside Chats' podcast and myself are planning to do a long series on Prof. Klimans ‘Reclaiming Marx’s Capital’ book as a series of live youtube hangouts. Let me know if you are interested or would like to take part. We will be getting deep down into the nitty gritty detail on the TSSI interpretation of Marx’s value theory. You can contact me about it by email here: alpha2omegapodcast@gmail.com.

After repeated requests from a number of listeners, this week I am delighted to welcome back to the show Dr Paul Cockshott, a reader in the computer science department of Glasgow University. We talk of the Socialist Calculation debate, the Soviet plans for their own internet, Google vs a planned economy, and the problems with Council Communism.
