‘The bottom four-fifths of humanity finance the richest fifth to the tune of $660bn a year’ A brilliant piece on how the global economy screws the majority - even here in the West. (And a nice mention for @FadhelKaboub) theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
It’s incredible how quickly liberals are willing to trash values they claim to uphold - freedom of speech, human rights, international law, etc - the minute these conflict with the objectives of Western hegemony and capital accumulation in the world economy.

"Instead of imposing austerity on the Global South, the World Bank and IMF should urge historic polluters to tighten their belts, cut consumption, and embrace a comprehensive degrowth strategy."

@MiddleEastEye Here’s @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor”

My recent blog is cited in The Guardian....
The economist Fadhel Kaboub suggests a way out: the World Bank and IMF could lend money to historical polluters to help them pay for their climate debt to poor nations.

Fadhel Kaboub:
"My message to the World Bank and the IMF is that they are getting #climatefinance completely backwards.
We should be thinking of the Global North as the countries that need climate finance and Global South as the countries that are owed a #climatedebt."

An antidote to MMT fatalism - another data-point on the ‘how MMT savvy academics are winning the argument’ graph - debt-mongering, greed-inflation, mission-based policies, global-south, job-guarantee, Japan awareness, and sustainable economics - progress everywhere you look. 👏🏻

Important @guardian editorial
We are on the edge of a full-blown crisis, fueled by an extractive int’l financial architecture that sees poor Cs ‘fund’ the US & Europe
One way out is some version of Keynes’s International Clearing Union, for climate

The editorial cites @FadhelKaboub’s novel solution: that the BWIs lend to Rich Cs to help them provide climate-related grants to Developing Cs 🤩
In a similar vein, civil society is calling for reform of IMF Special Drawing Rights to make future allocations needs-based
