This article reminded me that—aside from other, stronger measures—certain products should include information about their carbon emissions relative to average individual emissions. For example: "This flight produces XX% of the average annual emissions of an individual in [Country Name]."

Finance is deeply involved in our social care systems. In this great podcast series on transnational care I explain why, how, its consequences and what to do about it.

“Tricolor had won pristine triple-A ratings as it borrowed in credit markets, while First Brands may have amassed as much as $10bn in debt and off-balance sheet financing and was close to raising even more last month”

Xi's new NDC calls for only 7-10% ghg reductions by 2035. This is deeply disappointing, more consistent with 3 degrees C of warming than 2.5, let alone 2 or 1.5. Of course Trump is worse and this is still directionally correct, but this is pathetic for the state that wants to be the climate leader.

We are pleased to announce a Call for Papers from @socyrev-ecomundial.bsky.social for a special issue on the impact of China's economic transformation on the global economy, guest edited by @artjvrojo.bsky.social and myself. Deadline: June 15, 2026. 👉 More information: www.uhu.es/publicacione...

“Golf courses currently take up far more space than solar power in many nations, covering four times as much land in the US, six times as much in the UK and 15 times as much in Canada, according to a recent study, illustrated in the figure below.”

Today, more people die from obesity than from malnutrition. This is the problem of capitalist societies: they alleviate poverty only through vast overconsumption and deep inequality. We need societies that can reduce poverty while respecting limits.

“I think they have mathematics envy, rather than physics envy. They just want to prove theorems,” he argues. “That’s my main peeve about economists. They seem more interested in solving logical problems and aesthetic puzzles rather than a deep desire to understand what the real driving forces are.”

This is what remains of Beit Hanoun, a city in the north of the Gaza Strip which has been under full Israel control since July. It has been completely bulldozed by the IDF. A similar fate awaits Gaza City, once the Israelis take full control there. Depopulated for the first time in 5,000 years.

Rather than focusing on halting foreign aid, we should be dismantling a financialised system that continues to drain countries' resources towards the richest individuals, rather than allowing governments to invest in welfare and technology. Once we have fixed this, we can talk about foreign aid.

OJO: creo que esto se ve muy poco. El INE ha tenido que emitir un comunicado para desmentir una barbaridad de artículo de EL ESPAÑOL! Algunas de las fuentes citadas en el artículo: un columnista de El Debate, otro de LibreMercado y Lacalle.

“Macron scrapped a wealth tax and replaced it with a more modest one on real estate holdings,while taxes on capital income were also reduced with a flat tax of 30 per cent. Corporate taxes were cut from 33 per cent to 25 per cent…” Indeed, the president of the rich.

El cacao a la izquierda del PSOE.

Great advices of @garyseconomics.bsky.social on how to advance a common sense in taxing the rich: have an honest conversation, not a debate, and explain the personal economic impacts that increasing inequality in asset ownership will have on the working and middle classes.

We do not spend enough time talking about this graph. IEA thinks there are 70 million barrels per day of oil that can be pumped out of the ground for under $10 a barrel. That's 70% of current production. Oil demand does not have to fall much for prices to fall A LOT. www.iea.org/reports/the-...

The excellent analysis in the FT’s comments section. Finishing with financialisation is a necessary condition to get prosperous and sustainable societies.

Great analysis by @jorgetamames.bsky.social on the political economy in which the Spanish government finds itself. I would add three elements: Sánchez’s submission to financialisation, more sectors contributing to growth, and the lack of clear leadership in the left-part of the coalition, Sumar.

Gran análisis de @jorgetamames.bsky.social sobre la economía política en la que se encuentra el Gobierno del estado español. Añadiría tres elementos: la sumisión de Sánchez a la financiarización, más sectores que contribuyen al crecimiento y la falta de un liderazgo claro en Sumar.
