Carlos Taibo Arias (born in Madrid, 12 May 1956) is a writer, editor, and retired [1] professor of political science at the Autonomous University of Madrid.
Carlos Taibo is a staunch advocate of the anti-globalization movement, the degrowth movement, [2] direct democracy [3] and of anarchism. [4] Taibo coined the phrase La globalización avanza hacia un caos que escapa a todo control. [5] He has harshly criticized the idea that because economic growth impacts all spheres (social, economic, and political), it is associated with progress and welfare. This claim, that economic growth is related to progress and social welfare, is commonly questioned by critics of capitalism.
Carlos Taibo has been a member of socialist journal Sin Permiso since its founding in 2006, and has been published in the media, such as with the newspaper Público . [6] He is the author of more than thirty books in Spanish and Galician, mostly related to political transitions in contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, [7] as well as on geopolitical issues more generally.
