The policy briefing provides a data-rich overview over the budgets planned for public services in the UK and their connection to the future development of inflation. It highlights the fact that inflation might lead to "invisible" cuts to public sector budgets.

Comment from our editors:

The report addresses an interesting issue, namely the effects of inflation on public sector budgets, which stands in interesting contrast to arguments which see the public sector as profiteers from inflation, e.g. those focusing on the effects of inflation on the tax revenue or the depreciation of public sector debt.

In the inspiring interview on Economics of Care, Nancy Foblre takes a closer look to the consequences of the marketization of caring activities on those activities and on the societal organization of care. Folbre elaborates on how to value care and how this shifts the perspectives on living standards. She points to the fact, that caring activities are undervalued both in the market sphere and within the family and thereby questions the division between those spheres. Lastly, Folbre answers the question how to reteach Economics when accounting for caring activities.

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. Dazu zählt auch ein kapitalismus- und herrschaftskritisches Transformationsverständnis.

Our public services are in dire need of investment. But in the middle of a debate over competing spending plans, isn’t it also time to ask what we want our public services to actually do for us? That’s the view of group of economists and campaigners who are pushing for something called ‘Universal Basic Services’ – a radical expansion of high-quality public services for all to areas like transport, childcare and social care.

Nach dem vorherrschenden Verständnis ist Geld vor allem eine sehr individualistische Sache. Doch wenn wir es als öffentliche Infrastruktur verstehen, bekommen wir auch ein anderes Bild von uns Menschen und unserem Zusammenleben. Ein Beitrag von Jakob Feinig.

What are the debates, feminist and otherwise, surrounding the phenomena of globalization? How does a gendered lens complicate our understandings of neoliberal globalization? How are particular labor regimes integral to global restructuring, and how are these gendered? What are the implications of global restructuring for bodies, identities, relations, and movements?
