Very much looking forward to reading this.

This now has to be the footing for the economic programmes of all progressive parties. Centrism and triangulation will only continue to pave the way for the far-right, as the UK Labour govt among others is so expertly showing.

Exploring the strategic and tactical preferences of the degrowth movement The strategic diversity within the degrowth movement: different conceptualisations, strategic implications, and direct action tactics.

🐌 How do people conceptualize degrowth? What are the strategic implications of different theories of social change? And what direct action tactics do degrowth advocates support?

Take a look at the research findings for this questions👇

The new Israeli execution law will see Palestinians sentenced to death by military courts with little oversight and a low bar for evidence. It should disgust anyone who claims to stand for equality, human rights and democracy.

The US bombed a primary school in Iran, killing 168 girls.

Why is nobody talking about this anymore?

These abominable war crimes should not be forgotten — and nor should the lives, hopes and dreams of human beings who were slaughtered with impunity.

As far as I can tell, the "special relationship" between the US and UK boils down to the UK being willing to do genocide and war crimes alongside the US, no questions asked. It is a pact among brutes, for naked imperialist violence, and it should be destroyed forever.

Zack Polanski says Greens would ditch GDP targets and focus on wellbeing instead Leader uses first major economic speech to prioritise public services and reduction of inequality over growth A government led by the Green party would not set targets for GDP growth but would instead focus on people’s mental health, social cohesion and community welfare, Zack Polanski has said in a major speech to set out his plans for the economy. In his first policy address since taking over as leader of the Greens in England and Wales six months ago, Polanski condemned what he called “rip-off Britain”, where a minority of asset owners benefited at the expense of people obliged to pay unaffordable sums for housing and other basics.

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

This govt is getting very good at 'not knowing' stuff (esp where paedophiles are involved).

Brilliant quality for a govt to have 👍

Global economy must move past GDP to avoid planetary disaster, warns UN chief Exclusive: António Guterres says world’s accounting systems should place true value on the environment The global economy must be radically transformed to stop it rewarding pollution and waste, UN secretary general António Guterres has warned. Speaking to the Guardian after the UN hosted a meeting of leading global economists, Guterres said humanity’s future required the urgent overhaul of the world’s “existing accounting systems” he said were driving the planet to the brink of disaster.

Today’s acquittal of six Palestine Action activists is a huge win against attempts to criminalise protest and resistance to genocide.

In the past two years of Israeli genocide, the number of Palestinians in Gaza decreased by 10.6%, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics — representing the deaths or departures of 254,000 people.

Central bank independence should be reframed in light of climate change, say economists Monetary and fiscal policy should work in tandem while balancing risk of political interference, say economists Geoff Mann and Ann Pettifor.

Central bank independence may need rethinking in the face of climate change, argue economists @geoffmann.bsky.social & @annpettifor.bsky.social.

“Central bankers need to understand that they are political actors, not technical actors.”

What would degrowth look like in practice?

Like Larsen/Jackson we argue there isn't just one institutional model (e.g. PBoC) that can generate transformative green central banking policies. But current models of central bank independence in UK/EU/US obstruct mon-fiscal coordination on climate and limit the possibility of such policies (3/3)

Monetary-fiscal policy coordination is crucial to transforming economies to address climate and ecological crisis. Central banks in the Scorecard with the strongest climate policies exhibit different forms of close coordination with central government, from less to more independent examples (2/3)

Important arguments from @mathiaslarsen.bsky.social and @james7jackson.bsky.social of @granthamlse.bsky.social which align with those in our recent (and first) East and Southeast Asia Green Central Banking Scorecard, which China/the PBoC topped (1/4)
