New research shows the global service sector isn't as green as we thought. Between 1995–2021, service-based emissions rose by 63%, driven by public, health & financial services. Time to rethink sustainability in services. 🔗

Empirical reality completely undermines Western narratives about Chinese "debt-trap diplomacy". A Johns Hopkins University investigation of more than a thousand loans to African countries found that China never seized assets, and never even used courts to enforce payments.

This piece explains in a nutshell the staggering failure of capitalism to address the climate crisis. “No capitalist,” Marx wrote, “ever voluntarily introduces a new method of production… so long as it reduces the rate of profit.”
