Billionaire “flight” is rare, exaggerated, & often confused w/paper avoidance or account maneuvering, not physical relocation. CA’s proposed Billionaire Wealth Tax Act could raise ~$100 billion, even after accounting for avoidance. Good tax design beats fear-based forecasting every time forbes.com/sites/teresagh…

and more pluralism and heterodoxy in the education and training (including, not to mention, the policymaking)

(1/5) Happy to share our new article with Ha-Joon Chang, where we argue for the urgent need to reform the international economic order. elgaronline.com/view/journals/…

China's progress on renewable energy is breathtaking. In the first half of this year they installed more than twice as much solar as the rest of the world *combined*. This is what you can achieve when you can plan production around social objectives.

In our recent paper, we show that for both Malawi and the UK (opposite sides of the fiscal space spectrum), the functional finance paradigm outperforms the sound finance paradigm for a range of macroeconomic variables. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

This is a brilliant letter written by my colleagues, sent to The Economist. The letter firmly debunks the magazine's misguided take that "the world must escape the manufacturing delusion."

How popular are post-capitalist/socialist ideas and policies? Here's a list of studies and surveys with some striking results...

Here's what's happening, as far as I can tell. -The US agreed with Hamas to release Edan Alexander in exchange for lifting the siege on Gaza. -Edan was released, but Trump betrayed his promise. Israel continues to starve Gazans. -It seems the US objective was to clear out this one US-Israeli citizen prior to letting Israel impose its violent endgame on Gaza. -Meanwhile, the US has been pressing Libya to take 1 million Palestinians, who will be ethnically cleansed by Israel. -Libya... the US is using the country they destroyed in 2011, and which remains extremely weak and vulnerable to imperial pressure. Evil doesn't even begin to describe what we are witnessing. All with the complicity of Western leaders and the cowardly silence of the Western press.

I told Congress they're killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they're paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US. This was the authorities' response.

1/🧵Immanuel Wallerstein is known for his world-systems analysis. But few recall that his ideas were shaped by engagement with African decolonisation. In the 1960s, #Wallerstein lived and travelled across #Africa, meeting #Fanon and Samir Amin, and admiring #Nkrumah and Cabral.

During apartheid, South African armed forces killed 69 civilians in the Sharpeville Massacre. The world was shocked. This event is still taught in history classes. On average, Israel has massacred more than 70 Palestinian civilians *every day* for the past 18 months.

Beda kelas memang media yang udah pernah dibredel pemerintah sejak jaman orba. Diteror pake pala babi, dibalas dgn munculin wajah orang-orang dibaliknya. Seakan memberi pesan.. “ini wajah kami, kami ga ngumpet kaya pengecut macam lo”. Sehat-sehat @tempodotco @BocorAlusPol #KamiBersamaTempo 🫡

Kita tdk hanya tolak RUU ini dan RUU itu,kita sedang berjuang dalam otoritarianisme yang makin menguat,dgn DPR yg hanya perpanjangan tangan kekuasaan dan lembaga2 lain yang sudah dan akan dikooptasi jg.Kita sedang bertahan dari Otoritarianisme yg menguat dan berupaya membaliknya.

Hati-hati. Pola yg biasa dilakukan oleh tentara: 1. Teror kantor atau orangnya. 2. Bom kantor NGO/media. Ingat kasus bom molotov kantor Jubi. 3. Manfaatkan paramiliter&preman. Siap-siap backup @KontraS Semoga aksi tolak RUU TNI terus lanjut. tempo.co/politik/usai-g…

Mengapa Dwifungsi ABRI (sekarang TNI) yang coba dihidupkan melalui Revisi UU tahun 2004 itu harus dikritisi bahkan ditolak? 1. Amanat Reformasi 1998 Jutaan mahasiswa dan masyarakat sudah melakukan upaya memperbaiki sistem demokrasi yang saat itu otoriter & korup (cont).
