Le Panoptique est un projet d'architecture pénitentiaire conçu en 1787 par le philosophe anglais Jeremy Bentham. Au cœur du bâtiment circulaire, les quartiers du gardien. A sa circonférence, des cellules où la lumière entre, permettant de surveiller en permanence les prisonniers depuis le centre. À la périphérie, des galeries où le public extérieur peut s’assurer du bon fonctionnement de la prison et de l’intégrité des gardiens.

Illuminem VoicesESG · Corporate Sustainability · Corporate Governance · Corporate Social ResponsibilityWhile in Wales, I visited the memorial for the Senghenydd coal mine disaster a hundred years ago. My family were Lancashire coal miners and it’s moving to see this memorial as a reminder of times when this dangerous and dirty energy dominated the industrialised world. But, in the hills next door to the mine, the organisation I was with is now planning to build wind farms.

Illuminem VoicesESG · Corporate Social Responsibility · Corporate GovernanceWe all find ourselves in teams of some sort much of the time. My own experience has taken me through dozens of professional and voluntary teams, with various degrees of success and satisfaction. Occasionally, I have felt the distinct “buzz” of being in a really high-performance team. Therefore, years ago, I began to reflect on these experiences and to look at other teams that seemed to have this character.

In 1776, the British MP Soame Jenyns wrote a work titled A View of the Internal Evidence of the Christian Religion. The bulk of the work is an apologetic for Christian orthodoxy against the claims of skeptical deism, but it has a notable political dimension.

I have been privileged to work across the global energy system for decades. It is actually made up of multiple interacting systems that integrate into just about every part of our lives – we cannot operate, build or move anything without energy.

This is part of “The Best of the Online Library of Liberty” which is a collection of some of the most important material in the OLL. In this extract Bentham defines the two principles on which he bases his political theory, namely the greatest happiness-principle and the self-preference principle. He notes that traditionally rulers have pursued their own “self-preference” or happiness and that of their supporters, at the expence of the happiness of the society at large.

Rather than breaking capitalism… A.G.I… is more likely to create a powerful… ally for capitalism’s most destructive creed: neoliberalism. —Evgeny Morozov. The New York TimesThe New York Times for decades has been America’s bellwether of coming political, ideological, and cultural trends. Even those who rarely agreed with it (Ayn Rand is a prime example) quote it to indicate trial balloons for new ideas and causes readying to launch full-blown propaganda campaigns.
