Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

F U! What kind of shoddy, incompetent operations are you running? My mother - who is in her 60s - has been stranded in Delhi waiting for her flight to Kochi for nearly 24 hours. Who runs a business like this? Absolute shame for the company - you should all be fired - & for India
IndiGo@IndiGo6E

The last two days have seen widespread disruption across IndiGo’s network and operations. We extend a heartfelt apology to all our customers and industry stakeholders who have been impacted by these events. IndiGo teams are working diligently and making all efforts with the support of MOCA, DGCA, BCAS, AAI and airport operators to reduce the cascading impact of these delays and restore normalcy. We continue to keep our customers apprised of any changes to their scheduled flights and advise them to check the latest status at goindigo.in/check-flight-s… before heading to the airport. IndiGo deeply regrets the inconvenience caused and remains focussed on streamlining its operations at the earliest.

Work time reduction and gender equality should accelerate their historical trajectory in the 21st century. The #FutureofWork must also respond to growing demands for planetary sustainability and socioeconomic justice. 🔗wid.world/news-article/p… 🧵A thread on our study with @MarieAndreesc, @thomaspiketty.bsky.social, R.

We urgently need structural reforms to the international system - e.g.: 🔹 better terms of exchange for developing countries; 🔹 a global clearing union (in the spirit of Keynes 1943); 🔹 an international reserve currency; 🔹 major reforms of the governance of IMF and other post-war institutions so as to give more voice to the global South [8/9]

Today, global productivity convergence is still a distant goal. We live in a world characterised by persistent and increasing power imbalances, where the rules of the game remain rigged against the Global South. Yet inequality and uneven development are not inevitable. They are the result of political choices that can be reversed. [7/9]

Under-appreciated fact: today’s Nobel is, in large part, given for formally introducing class struggle into mainstream theory and empirics of economic growth and political development. Their models of democratization and much of their historical analysis is effectively an argument that in some places, historical circumstances drove bargaining power into the hands of merchants and other non elites, and this sometimes created virtuous cycles of democratization and development.
Chris Blattman@cblatts

But is it economics? Congratulations to my colleagues—especially James, who describes himself as a “recovering economist”. He taught me my first political economy of development class 21y ago, then became my colleague when he recruited me to @HarrisPolicy and @PearsonInst 8y ago. Very happy for the 3 of them. An award for the PE of development, and the best choice possible.

Terrifying and tragic—the complete erasure of women into shadows. To state the obvious: This strips Afghan women of their humanity, further isolating them from anything meaningful, let alone global progress on gender equality. The int’ community cannot allow this to continue.
Sara Wahedi@SaraWahedi

As of today, this is how women must dress in Afghanistan, according to the Taliban's Supreme Leader. The following rules are now in effect: The full face must be covered—no hands, nothing visible. The black veil was presented as a "recommendation" a year ago, now it is the law.

🗣️ “The crisis of #inequality is at its core a governance failure"— Dr. Roshni Menon (@roshnimen), @SDG16Plus Senior Program Officer on Inequality & Exclusion at @nyuCIC during the UN #HLPF2024 Side Event: "Consequences of Inequality in achieving Agenda 2030 and the Pact for the Future: Global and Regional Perspectives" with @OxfamAmerica & @c4unwn. "Inequality in this sense is not inevitable, and the question of who has lost and who has won in our current system is not chance or coincidence but based on histories both recent and centuries-old of oppression, exploitation, and divisions." #SDG16Plus #NYUCIC #2030Agenda

🌐 How does #governance shape the future of urbanization and housing justice? 🏠 The 2024 Pathfinders (@SDG16Plus) – London School of Economics (@LSEnews) Roundtable addressed key urban challenges with these takeaways: 🏘️ Housing injustice is a governance issue within SDG 16+, linked to SDGs 11, 10, and 16. 📈 Urbanization offers opportunities for development but urban inequalities can obstruct inclusive policymaking and sustainable living. ⚖️ Housing is a right, not just a commodity. 🔁 Collaboration among governments, communities, and activists is crucial. 🤝 Link housing justice with racial and environmental justice for holistic equity. Together, let's strive for housing rights and urban equity! #NYUCIC #SDG16Plus #Pathfinders #HousingJustice #UrbanDevelopment
