| Abstract: | This chapter examines the emergence of platform cooperatives as organizational arrangements capable of reconnecting digital economic activity with social and environmental objectives. Building on the literature on commons, cooperatives, and substantive economy, we explore how the integration of collective resource governance and cooperative ownership can generate new forms of socio-economic organization. We propose the concept of commons-oriented platform cooperatives to describe platform-based organizations that combine democratic governance, multi-stakeholder participation, and the production or protection of digital commons. Drawing on a comparative analysis of five international case studies, namely Loomio, CoopCycle, Mobicoop, Open Food Network, and CoopCircuits, we investigate the institutional mechanisms through which cooperatives and commons interact and reinforce one another. The analysis highlights how these organizations mobilize open-source technologies, collective ownership, reciprocal licensing, and community participation to pursue socially useful missions while resisting processes of commodification and data extraction. Our findings show that commons-oriented platform cooperatives contribute to sustainability and social inclusion by fostering local resilience, supporting fairer labor relations, promoting environmentally responsible practices, and creating shared digital infrastructures. At the same time, they face persistent challenges related to funding, governance complexity, scaling, and dependence on voluntary contributions. We argue that the combination of commons-based governance and cooperative ownership can help prevent organizational degeneration and strengthen the capacity of platform cooperatives to serve broader collective interests. By linking Polanyi's notion of the substantive economy with contemporary debates on digital social innovation and platform cooperativism, the chapter contributes to understanding how alternative digital organizations can support ecological transition and democratic economic development. |

| Abstract: | This article explores the concept of Diverse Economies and Other Economies as a response to the environmental and social crisis. From a systemic and interdependent perspective, it argues that the hegemonic economic model has led the planet into an unprecedented ecological crisis, rooted in the commodification of nature, capital accumulation, and cultural homogenization. Through theoretical analysis and territorial experiences in Colombia (5 months traveling through 15 municipalities in Colombia), it suggests that Diverse Economies and Other Economies offer viable alternatives grounded in reciprocity, ecological justice, and the regeneration of ecosystems. The article highlights community-based, solidarity, peasant, Afro-descendant, and Indigenous economic practices, as well as principles such as ecological interdependence, territorial autonomy, and the care economy. Finally, it argues that Colombia, due to its biocultural richness and territorial resistances, can play a key role in the transition toward sustainable and resilient economic models, contributing perspectives from the pluriverse and post-development. |

| Abstract: | This paper develops a simple and teachable shifting equilibrium model of Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis by integrating a benchmark post-Keynesian model of endogenous money with Minsky's own ideas of the introduction of money through credit, the profit-seeking behavior of the banking sector, and his classification of financial postures. The paper highlights how financial crises are intrinsically connected to economic decisions made under fundamental uncertainty that Minsky, following Keynes, considered inherent in capitalism. The model focuses on credit-financed investment decisions by non-financial firms and the corresponding lending by profit-seeking banks. The paper introduces a ratio of Ponzi-speculative to hedge units, which connects the macroeconomic outcome with the micro classification of individual firms according to Minsky's financial postures. |

| Abstract: | The interrelationships between the economic, environmental and social systems should have an impact on peace. Economic agents affect the environment and this in turn modifies them. Therefore, this problem requires theoretical approaches that allow us to understand those links. This article aims to identify, theoretical elements that contribute to consolidation of peace in a sustainable perspective from the economic role. For this, a literature review was carried out through meta-search engines, trend monitoring on scientific discussion and review of seminal authors. Theoretical elements gathering were analyzed through the opposing case approach. It was identified that cooperation, intergroup selection and isolation of niches within the framework of complexity theory, evolutionary theory and transition to sustainability could favor the emergence of peace in a sustainable context. |

| Abstract: | How does an economy composed of decentralized, heterogeneous, and interdependent agents with incomplete information coordinate itself? Characterizing an equilibrium configuration does not necessarily amount to explaining the process through which economic coordination emerges and evolves. This expositoryprogrammatic paper provides an integrative synthesis of the first stage of a research program aimed at reinterpreting microeconomics as a theory of coordination rather than exclusively as a theory of equilibrium. From a complex-systems perspective, it argues that much of this process takes place at a mesoeconomic level constituted by markets, networks, organizations, and institutions that structure interactions among agents. The paper brings together results and mechanisms developed in previous and ongoing work through a dynamic grammar of accumulation, adaptation, diffusion, selection, thresholds, and endogenous network formation. This perspective gives rise to the notions of relational microfoundations and coordination regimes, within which equilibrium constitutes a particular case. The aim is not to present a fully developed general theory, but to conceptually organize the main results of this first stage and demonstrate their coherence within a broader research agenda on economic coordination, complexity, and the mesoeconomic level. |

| Abstract: | Why do development trajectories diverge across countries, even when similar policies are pursued? This article proposes an integrated framework of comparative political economy that traces this divergence to seven interrelated dimensions and their configuration: the macroeconomic constellation, the financial system, integration in global production, industrial policy, social policy, the labour and employment system, and social blocs. The dimensions are treated symmetrically-none holds causal priority in advance, and which of them are influential or constraining in a given case is an empirical question-so that the framework can be applied to economies in very different positions in the world economy. Six interaction mechanisms connect the dimensions, linking a country's external insertion into the global economy, its financial and macroeconomic structures, its policy fields, and its social power relations. Configurations in which the dimensions reinforce one another tend to reproduce themselves, with their course depending on the stability of the dominant social bloc. On this basis, the article focuses on the conditions under which economic policy is effective for whom: the same instrument can succeed in one configuration, fail in another and serve a variety of interests. The framework is thus intended as a diagnostic instrument for comparative research, and a set of indicators makes it empirically applicable. |

| Abstract: | This article brings together a review of six articles by André Moulin, a researcher at Paris-Saclay University (CPN laboratory), published as part of two research blogs: ‘The Reinterpretation and Subsequent Application of Spinoza in the Social Sciences' and ‘Economics through the Lens of the Means of Production'. The six articles reviewed are, in the order in which they should be read: • C-0 — Who pays for and who appropriates the means of production • C-1-q — The persistence of the privilege of exclusive appropriation of assets • C-1-j — The three hallmarks of capitalism • C-1-1 — The three circuits of capitalism • D-i — Breaking with capitalism alongside the libertarians and Locke • C-1-w — Locke's right of appropriation to transform capitalism These six articles demonstrate that contemporary capitalism is based on the following privilege: shareholders appropriate the means of production—the assets—without paying any price for them whatsoever. This privilege constitutes a structural and permanent violation of the most fundamental liberal principle — that only those who pay are entitled to ownership. A legal reform that abolishes this privilege is then proposed, without abolishing private property or resorting to any ideological premise alien to the liberal system. This change makes the collective of employees the decision-makers and majority owners of the assets, as they contribute most to them by devoting a portion of the proceeds of their labour to them.¹This article brings together a review of six articles by André Moulin, a researcher at Paris-Saclay University (CPN laboratory), published as part of two research blogs: ‘The Reinterpretation and Subsequent Application of Spinoza in the Social Sciences' and ‘Economics through the Lens of the Means of Production'.

| Abstract: | Cet article rassemble la recension de six articles de Moulin André, chercheur à l'université Paris-Saclay (laboratoire CPN), publiés dans le cadre de deux carnets de recherche : Actualisation puis mobilisation de Spinoza dans les sciences sociales et L'économie au prisme des moyens de production. Les six articles recensés sont, dans l'ordre de leur lecture : • C-0 — Qui paye et qui s'approprie les moyens de production • C-1-q — Permanence du privilège d'appropriation exclusive des actifs • C-1-j — Les trois jalons caractérisant le capitalisme • C-1-1 — Les trois circuits du capitalisme • D-i — Casser le capitalisme avec les libertariens et Locke • C-1-w — Le droit d'appropriation de Locke pour changer le capitalisme Ces six articles démontrent que le capitalisme contemporain repose sur le privilège suivant : les actionnaires s'approprient les moyens de production, les actifs, sans du tout en payer le prix. Ce privilège est une violation structurelle et permanente du principe libéral le plus fondamental — seul celui qui paye s'approprie — Une évolution juridique qui abolit ce privilège est ensuite proposée, sans abolir la propriété privée, ni recourir à aucune prémisse idéologique étrangère au système libéral. Cette évolution rend le collectif de salariés décisionnaire et propriétaire majoritaire des actifs, car contribuant le plus à ceux-ci en y consacrant une partie du produit de son travail. |

| Abstract: | Rochon and Rossi (2026) argue that neoclassical economics should no longer be taught to undergraduates. Their argument is based on the premise that neoclassical foundations are flawed and the empirical record is weak. I grant several of their empirical criticisms and reject the pedagogical conclusion they draw from them. A macroeconomic framework offers immense value to students when economists still disagree about it and when it offers explanations of important economic episodes that students can evaluate against historical evidence. It does not have to have been judged correct. Where those disagreements remain open, removing one side from the curriculum transfers adjudication from the student to the instructor. That same argument applies to heterodox frameworks when economists are still arguing over them. Rochon and Rossi's proposal also sits in tension with their call for a more empirical economics education, since empirical reasoning requires competing explanations against which evidence can be interpreted. |

| Abstract: | How should we understand the widespread opposition to carbon taxes? Economists studying the acceptability of climate policies start from a conception of the individual that is too narrow to fully answer this question. First, I propose to review the history and epistemological foundations of the standard conception of the agent in economics. This conception does not take into account the diversity of values expressed by individuals in their choices and actions. Second, I sketch an alternative conception proposed by American philosopher Elizabeth Anderson (1993). Third, with this pluralist and expressivist conception of values in mind, I raise the question of individual responsibility in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I argue that any sound understanding of the challenges of the ecological transition should pay attention to social norms and the ways they structure expectations for the good life against which people express their values. Fourth, I discuss the importance of equity, equality, and justice for understanding the popular reaction to climate policies. |
| Abstract: | Comment comprendre l'opposition généralisée à la taxation du carbone ? Les économistes qui s'intéressent aux déterminants de l'acceptabilité des politiques climatiques partent d'une conception trop simplifiée de l'individu pour répondre à cette question. Dans un premier temps, je propose de revenir sur l'histoire et les fondements épistémologiques de la conception standard de l'agent en économie. Celle-ci ne tient pas compte de la diversité des valeurs exprimées par les individus dans leurs choix et leurs actions. Dans un deuxième temps, je présente brièvement les contours d'une conception alternative proposée par Elizabeth Anderson (1993) dans un ouvrage majeur, pourtant méconnu du public francophone. À l'aune de cette conception pluraliste et expressiviste, je soulève dans un troisième temps la question de la responsabilité individuelle dans la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Sans apporter de réponse définitive, je défends l'idée que la compréhension des défis de la transition requiert de porter une attention particulière aux normes sociales et à la façon dont elles structurent les attentes qui conditionnent les valeurs exprimées par les individus. Dans un quatrième temps, je tire quelques implications en termes de politiques publiques. Je mets l'accent sur l'importance des valeurs d'équité, d'égalité et de justice dans l'appréhension de la réaction aux propositions de politiques climatiques. |

| Abstract: | Economics rewards precision, but precision within a model does not establish what a result means, whether the represented object is economically admissible, or whether the conclusion travels to the world. This methodological essay builds a classroom prank on the Indian parable of the blind men and the elephant. Students solve slightly different calibrations of a two-sector Leontief model, reduce the answers to policy signs and vote; every system is solvable, yet thirty of the hundred coefficient pairs fail the Hawkins–Simon productivity condition. Six blind men extend the lesson to calculation, point equilibrium, binary inference, identification, aggregation and computational dynamics. In each case the well-behaved statistic is not the one that answers the economic question, and its good behaviour is what makes it persuasive. Artificial intelligence lowers the cost of building alternative models towards zero; the scarce input is the disposition to ask what a successful result is not showing. |

| Abstract: | Poverty measurement is often reduced to univariate thresholds or scalar indices linked to means. These one-dimensional types of thresholds may distort differences that are relevant to feminist economic inquiry, particularly for marginalized groups or where resource constraints reinforce one another. This article argues that the reduction of distortion is a central aim of feminist research methodology, and that joint distributional approaches offer a possible way forward. Unlike univariate poverty thresholds, joint distributional approaches ask which combinations of resources represent relative deprivation. We apply these techniques to the study of income and time poverty. Income and time are only partial substitutes, which conventional measures handle by imposing a fixed rate of substitution between time and money. Following Dorn et al. (2024), we instead define poverty as a contour of the joint empirical distribution of leisure and income, using the 2019 Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Roughly one in ten people is deprived in the joint allocation of both leisure and income while exceeding the lower bound of both univariate thresholds, a group we call the Invisibly Deprived. Women make up a disproportionate share of this group, with classification highly sensitive to assumptions about intra-household income sharing. |

| Abstract: | The structure and dynamics of complex networks are intimately linked. Despite immense progress in statistically characterizing these systems, a generalized mechanistic framework explaining why specific mesoscale structures emerge remains elusive. Here we introduce the game-graph equilibrium, the stable rest point of a payoff-driven partner-choice dynamic, analogous to a Nash equilibrium. This reveals network structure as the fossilized record of strategic interaction. We prove analytically that two-type games have exactly four network topologies, which are their exhaustive thermodynamic phases: assortative, disassortative, and two core-peripheries. This result generalizes to $K^K$ topological classes for $K$-type interactions. Furthermore, four distinct Nash equilibria produce core-periphery topologies, yet their payoffs reveal whether the underlying dynamic is cooperative or exploitative. To recover the generating dynamics from observed networks, we develop mechanistic inference by constraining a block model to lie on a low-dimensional, game-theoretic manifold. Applied to real-world networks, the model yields interpretable quantities, distinguishes states that look identical to conventional methods, predicts network topologies it has never seen without retraining, and controls its own complexity without hand-tuned penalties. Networks such as international trade are well described by the model despite the hard constraint, suggesting that real-world systems are organized by payoff-driven partner choice. Our framework resolves a foundational ambiguity by offering a precise, mechanistic definition of communities: strategic equivalence. |

| Abstract: | La rápida expansión de la inteligencia artificial (IA) está transformando la forma en que las sociedades producen conocimiento, organizan sus economías y toman decisiones colectivas. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los debates contemporáneos sobre IA se concentran en aspectos técnicos —eficiencia, sesgos algorítmicos o marcos regulatorios—, dejando en segundo plano una pregunta más profunda: ¿quién debe orientar la inteligencia en una civilización crecientemente mediada por infraestructuras algorítmicas? Este artículo sostiene que la inteligencia artificial no puede convertirse en el principio rector de la vida colectiva. Aunque los sistemas algorítmicos pueden procesar grandes volúmenes de información, modelar escenarios complejos y optimizar procesos, no participan en la trama viva que sus modelos representan. La IA puede simular sensibilidad, pero no experimentar vulnerabilidad; puede calcular impactos ecológicos, pero no habitar los territorios afectados; puede generar recomendaciones, pero no asumir responsabilidad ética por las decisiones que informa incluso ha tenido un uso intensivo para la guerra. A partir de una ontología relacional, de los aportes de la biología de la cognición y del marco conceptual de las economías para la vida, el artículo desarrolla una crítica al paradigma moderno del cálculo desencarnado que subyace a gran parte del desarrollo contemporáneo de la inteligencia artificial. Se argumenta que el riesgo principal no radica únicamente en el uso de sistemas algorítmicos, sino en una posible inversión ontológica en la cual la optimización computacional desplaza la deliberación ética y el cuidado como principios orientadores de la acción colectiva. Frente a este escenario, se propone el concepto de primacía de la red humana relacional, entendida como el conjunto de comunidades capaces de deliberar, cuidar y asumir responsabilidad por la continuidad de la vida. Desde esta perspectiva, la inteligencia artificial puede contribuir a procesos de coordinación colectiva, restauración ecológica y planificación territorial, siempre que permanezca subordinada a la deliberación democrática, a los límites ecológicos y a una ética del cuidado. El artículo concluye que el futuro de la inteligencia artificial dependerá menos de su sofisticación técnica que de la capacidad de la humanidad para fortalecer formas de inteligencia colectiva capaces de orientar el poder tecnológico hacia la regeneración y la continuidad de la vida en la Tierra. |

| Abstract: | Colombia y el mundo enfrentan una crisis socioecológica que cuestiona las bases estructurales de su modelo de desarrollo. La degradación ambiental, la persistencia de desigualdades y la intensificación de conflictos territoriales revelan los límites de una arquitectura económica centrada en el crecimiento, la acumulación y la mercantilización de la naturaleza. En este contexto, procesos de articulación como el Encuentro Internacional de Economías para la Vida (ECOOVIDA) 2026 constituyen hitos históricos que consolidan una convergencia ética y política en torno a la centralidad de la vida como principio orientador de la acción pública (ECOOVIDA, 2026). Este artículo propone el enfoque de economías diversas y economías otras para la vida (Rincón Ruiz, 2026a) como una orientación estructural para repensar la política pública en Colombia. Más allá de ajustes sectoriales o enfoques de economía verde, se argumenta que optar por economías para la vida implica interrogar la arquitectura macroeconómica —sus métricas, incentivos fiscales, prioridades productivas y marcos financieros— y explorar transiciones graduales hacia una política económica orientada a la reproducción ampliada de la vida humana y no humana. En diálogo con la Evaluación sobre Cambios Transformadores de la IPBES (2024), el texto ofrece una lectura situada de los desafíos de transformación estructural en contextos de alta complejidad y conflicto (IPBES, 2024). Lejos de presentar un modelo cerrado, el artículo propone una brújula conceptual que permita articular experiencias territoriales, marcos constitucionales y debates macroeconómicos en la construcción de trayectorias de transición coherentes con la justicia ecológica y la diversidad biocultural del país. |

| Abstract: | Statistics increasingly need to capture the complexity of inequalities experienced by diverse populations. This paper provides a conceptual and methodological overview of how an intersectional perspective can contribute to this objective by considering how multiple individual and social characteristics interact in complex, overlapping and non-additive ways within broader social and institutional contexts. It examines how intersectional analysis can reveal inequalities and population groups that may remain hidden in aggregate statistics or single-axis analysis, thereby supporting more targeted and evidence-based policymaking. The paper discusses key statistical challenges, including data availability and quality, analytical complexity, interpretation and communication, and ethical and privacy considerations. It reviews a range of complementary approaches, from descriptive and regression-based methods to multilevel modelling, cluster and latent class analysis, machine learning and mixed methods, highlighting their strengths, limitations and appropriate use. The paper provides practical guidance for integrating an intersectional perspective into statistical analysis and production. |

| Abstract: | Este artículo propone un diálogo entre la Evaluación sobre Cambios Transformadores de la Plataforma Intergubernamental Científico-Normativa sobre Diversidad Biológica y Servicios de los Ecosistemas (IPBES, 2024), el marco de los límites planetarios y el enfoque de soluciones planetarias, con el fin de estructurar conceptualmente las economías diversas y las economías otras para la vida como respuestas ante la crisis socioecológica contemporánea. A partir de una estancia de investigación en el Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), en Alemania, el trabajo sostiene que la actual crisis ambiental no es un accidente, sino una consecuencia estructural de un modelo económico hegemónico basado en la acumulación, el extractivismo y la mercantilización de la naturaleza. El artículo argumenta que el reconocimiento de los límites planetarios resulta insuficiente sin transformaciones profundas en las visiones, las estructuras y las prácticas sociales, tal como lo plantea la IPBES. En este marco, las economías para la vida se analizan como expresiones concretas de cambio transformador al reorientar los fines de la economía hacia la reproducción digna de la vida humana y no humana, la regeneración ecológica y la justicia social y ambiental. A partir de experiencias latinoamericanas y colombianas, se muestra cómo prácticas como la agroecología, la reciprocidad, el autogobierno territorial y las finanzas solidarias encarnan soluciones planetarias situadas. |
