    How can we avoid worst-case scenarios? 
From Nineteen Eighty-Four to Black Mirror, we are all familiar with the tropes of dystopian science fiction. But what if worst-case scenarios could actually become reality? And what if we could do something now to put the world on a better path? 
In Avoiding the Worst, Tobias Baumann lays out the concept of risks of future suffering (s-risks). With a focus on s-risks that are both realistic and avoidable, he argues that we have strong reasons to consider their reduction a top priority. Finally, he turns to the question of what we can do to help steer the world away from s-risks and towards a brighter future.

  • Plutocracy - The Rule of Wealth: How Economic Power Influences Political Decision-Making - cover

    Plutocracy - The Rule of Wealth:...

    Plutocracy, often described as the rule of wealth, refers to a political system in which economic elites hold significant influence over government decisions, shaping policies to favor their interests. This concentration of power is not limited to authoritarian regimes or monarchies but can also be observed in modern democracies, where wealth and power are deeply intertwined. In such systems, political decisions are often made in ways that protect and increase the wealth of the rich, while the needs and concerns of the broader population are sidelined. 
The concept of plutocracy is not a recent phenomenon. Throughout history, societies have been dominated by a small group of wealthy individuals or families who controlled vast resources and used their wealth to influence political outcomes. Whether through the control of land, natural resources, or capital, the wealthy elite have been able to dictate the direction of national policies, often at the expense of the lower classes. From the Roman Empire to the monarchies of Europe, political power and economic power have often been inextricably linked. 
In modern democracies, the influence of wealth on politics is more subtle but no less pervasive. Campaign financing, lobbying, and the revolving door between government and corporate sectors are just a few examples of how wealth can shape political agendas. Political campaigns are expensive, and politicians often rely on wealthy donors and interest groups to fund their campaigns. In return, these donors and groups expect favorable legislation or regulatory policies. As a result, the political system becomes more responsive to the needs of the wealthy, while the voices of ordinary citizens are drowned out.
