From International Expert Panel, Environment of Peace, Stockholm, May 2022.

I haven’t even bothered reading it. Why? I know what it’s going to say. I’ve read dozens of documents like this. I can’t be bothered reading them any more. This is because I know nothing will be done, nothing will change.

Let’s look at some searches for terms in the document (in no particular order).

Capitalism : 0 matches.

Capital : 0 matches.

$ (sign) : 17 matches.

Trillion : 12 matches.

Billion : 20 matches.

Million : 21 matches.

(Note: Not all “-illions” are related to dollar signs.)

Power : 76 matches.

(Note: Power is most often linked to, in the same sentence, various aspects of government, legislative and national power or else to physical power like hydropower for example.)

Economic  : 45 matches.

Political : 22 matches.

Political economy : 2 matches (in the notes on sources).

Socio-economic : 2 matches.

Democracy : 8 matches.

Democratic : 4 matches.

No mention of capital or capital as power. No mention of any framework or theory which might explain why nothing has changed yet.
