Zoltan Pozsar of Credit Suisse and Perry Mehrling of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies explain how the "plumbing of the financial system" is coming under strain like never before. This podcast gives a great insight into how the money system works.

The three central points made are that the "supply chain is a payment chain in reverse", how the Fed has alleviated much of the dollar shortage stress through quick issuance of swaps and how the "post-crisis" future may look like.

Ernest Mandel, a heterodox Marxist economist, shows here how a political economist can analyse systems such as the Soviet Union. 1968 Level: advanced The Nature and Economy of the Soviet Union Ernest Mandel YouTube This article provides a contextual framework for understanding the gendered dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic and its health, social, and economic outcomes. The pandemic has generated massive losses in lives, impacted people’s health, disrupted markets and livelihoods, and created profound reverberations in the home. In 112 countries that reported sex-disaggregated data on COVID-19 cases, men showed an overall higher infection rate than women, and an even higher mortality rate. However, women’s relatively high representation in sectors hardest hit by lockdown orders has translated into larger declines in employment for women than men in numerous countries. Evidence also indicates that stay-at-home orders have increased unpaid care workloads, which have fallen disproportionately to women. Further, domestic violence has increased in frequency and severity across countries. The article concludes that policy response strategies to the crisis by women leaders have contributed to more favorable outcomes compared to outcomes in countries led by men. 2021 Level: advanced Feminist Economic Perspectives on the COVID-19 Pandemic Naila Kabeer, Shahra Razavi & Yana van der Meulen Rodgers Taylor & Francis Group Eine kritische Transformative Wissenschaft dagegen müsste eine Vielfalt unterschiedlicher Transformationsverständnisse und -ziele zulassen. Transformative Wissenschaft wäre dann eine Plattform, auf der kritische Stränge der Natur- und Ingenieurs- sowie der Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften sich begegnen und unterschiedliche Veränderungsvorstellungen diskutieren können.
