We're often told that capitalism and market liberalisation are closing the gap between rich and poor countries, and the old colonial inequalities are fading. Is it true? We explored this question in a new paper, just published in NPE. Buckle up for some interesting results! 🧵

yeah sex is good but have you ever been completely alone on a bus for half of the line ? it's like having a personal chauffeur
This grotesque headline is from the Telegraph. 3,000 people in Britain have been killed in heatwaves this year so far. 20,000 in Europe. Even if Britain did get to “embrace Mediterranean life”, what about the actual Mediterranean, what do they get to embrace? What about India?
After everything we've lost, all I'm trying to do is give my children one simple thing: the security of waking up in the same home tomorrow. ONLY £237 left Rent is due so soon and I'm terrified of not being able to cover the amount.🥹 Every bit of help matters. Please give or share widely ↩️

We're Being Plunged Into Dystopia When We Could Be Living In Paradise It’s not just all the war, injustice, ecocide and dystopia that hurts. It’s knowing it didn’t have to be this way. It’s knowing what could have been. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/were-being...

This new study finds that the total death toll in Europe during the June heatwave exceeds 20,000 people. "This result highlights the accelerating threat of mass heat mortality events in Europe despite previous adaptations to heat." Pre-print here: zenodo.org/records/2108...
“To some, the expression ‘U.S. imperialism’ appears as a cliché because it is not a part of their own experience. We in the West are the beneficiaries of imperialism. The spoils of exploitation are the means of our corruption.” – Bertrand Russell
In one of his first acts as PM, Andy Burnham signs on to support the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran. Disgusting, cowardly stuff.
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2w agoThis is an appalling lack of judgement and the surest sign yet that Britain will continue to be Trump's lackey. The war in Iran has cost countless lives, and breached international law - yet we continue to support it. Very, very concerning. Very, very continuity Starmer.

🌕 🦅 July 20 – the day humanity first touched the Moon back in 1969. Looking forward to the upcoming Chang'e 7 lunar mission. And this mission is no small step – we're talking precision soft-landing, leaping across its surface, and even venturing into those mysterious, permanently shadowed craters.
Every person who helped spread bullshit about how evil the Islamic Republic is All the people who called for a return of the Shah All the people who said 'both sides are bad' YOU, specifically, helped the empire manufacture consent for this The blood of every civilian killed is on your hands too
So something just happened which perfectly demonstrates why you NEVER EVER support US regime change wars US bombed a water desalination plant in Iran, after destroying every bridge in the region Cutting 10k people off from fresh drinking water This is what western 'liberation' always looks like

Lindsey Graham was an imperialist warmonger who supported every major US military intervention during his career. He did not care about humanity, or international law, or even US citizens. He served the interests of the US capitalist class and the US proxy regime of Israel.
I'm proud to join over 100 economists in calling on the US to lift sanctions on Venezuela and unfreeze its assets following the June 24 earthquakes. Venezuela must be allowed to recover and rebuild. english.elpais.com/economy-and-...
Over 100 economists ask US to lift sanctions on Venezuela to ease the impact of the earthquakes
Academics call for a moratorium on Venezuelan debt, and urge the IMF to restore Caracas’ access to the Fund: ‘The emergency is human before it is political’

The irony is remarkable. The WSJ invokes the struggle against apartheid to argue for regime change in Cuba, ignoring that the U.S. backed South Africa's apartheid govt while Cuba helped defeat it. Cuba's military intervention in Angola led to Namibia's independence & the collapse of apartheid
