In fact #totalfactor #productivity outside government appears to have declined slightly since 2019. Like you I think #capital has been over rewarded for what it has contributed so rather fancy returning to the #crosland and #peston idea of the state mobilising and providing additional #capital - as it did before #margaretthatcher - or even going further still and reviving the idea of 'the state as entrepreneur' in fashion half a century back!
There is a view that #multifactor #productivity in the #uk is actually quite high by international standards - and that the real problem is one of factor proportions - too little #capital as against #labour in particular. To which the answer would be either to attract in #capital or for the #uk to find the #capital itself. One form of #endogenousgrowththeory suggests that the latter strategy would work well. Interpreting fiscal rules to enable it would make sense!

#Capital is a social promise.
"For the business investor, capital has long been stripped of any physical characteristics. In the eyes of modern owners … capital means one thing and one thing only: a pecuniary capitalization of earning capacity. It consists not of the owned factories, mines, aeroplanes, retail establishments or computer hardware and software, but of the present value of #profits expected to be earned by virtue of such #ownership."

They want us to have $35K just sitting there "in case of #emergency"?
I stumbled across this #video arguing that your emergency #fund in 2025 should be at least $35,000. That’s the new “rainy day” number. Not #retirement #savings. Not #investing #capital. Just... existing.
It got me thinking — how can we have skyrocketing living #costs, stagnant #wages, and still be told to squirrel away that much cash “just in case”? Who is this even realistic for?
["The working class and employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace as long as hunger and want are found among millions of working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life."
Preamble of the Industrial #Workers of the World, 1918?](https://web.archive.org/web/20240808101133/http://www.begbiecontestsociety.org/LABOUR.htm)
"#Labor is prior to, and independent of, #capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."
> Abraham #Lincoln, 1861
@breadandcircuses Capital is sold and served up cold as a zero-sum game of exchanging commodity claims. All depend on the capital of resources to exist, so to exist the values and utility of capital necessarily depends on an ethically sustainable morality. The zero-sum rewards ever fewer to the greater loss of the many, so it inevitably tends to the creation of ideological cults. Currently, they are captive to fascist nihilists negative-sum gaming. Fascist nihilists are losers either way as winning gives them nothing but a void; pain and loneliness for eternity! #Capital #FascistsCapital #FascistEcocide #ResourcesAreCapital #NihilistDeathCults #CapitalismTendsToFascistNihilism

"#AIbasedcapitalism, if it is to maintain its political legitimacy, may well have to be accompanied by very #high levels of #taxation on #capital, which would, in effect, socialize the financial returns that the #AImodels generate. Perhaps this was what the A.I. pioneer #GeoffreyHinton was getting at during a recent interview when, on being asked about the economic policies needed to make A.I. work for everybody, he gave a one-word answer: #Socialism.”
