    Neoliberalism: A Reflection

    Martyn Richard Jones, A Coruña, 9th April 2025

    In a compelling lecture by Enrique Javier Díez, a respected professor at the University of León, he opened with the well-worn Chinese proverb: “Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime.” A familiar refrain, often invoked in discussions of education and empowerment, it was a fitting start — but Díez, with the precision of a seasoned academic and the urgency of a citizen deeply attuned to the injustices of our time, was not content to leave it there.

  • Causal Analysis

    Causal Analysis

    Martyn Richard Jones

    Causal analysis is the field of experimental design and statistics pertaining to establishing cause and effect. Typically, it involves establishing four elements: correlation, sequence in time (that is, causes must occur before their proposed effect), a plausible physical or information-theoretical mechanism for an observed effect to follow from a possible cause, and eliminating the possibility of common and alternative (“special”) causes. Such analysis usually involves one or more artificial or natural experiments.

    There is an elephant in the room.
