In this short essay, Jayati Ghosh gives an overview over the multiple ways in which the economic "fall-out" of the War in Ukraine is hitting economies and societies in the developing world. She focuses on price hikes on commodity markets, highlighting especially the price rises related to food and energy. Based on this analysis she calls for financial support for the affected economies in the developing world.

Comment from our editors:

Stressing the (potentially dramatic) secondary effects of the War in Ukraine on countries in the Global South Jayati Ghosh's essay is a crucial reminder that the War in Ukraine as well as the sanctions regime implemented as a response do not only affect the warring parties and their allies. The piece is thus an important reminder that solidarity with those affected by war cannot not be limited to Ukraine but needs to expanded and include the less visible economic effects of war.

In the second video of the series Investigating International Finance, an alternative view on capital controls is given contrasting with the paradigm of classical trade theory which suggests that the removal of trade and capital barriers is associated with higher market efficiency. After explaining the conceptual mechanisms underlying capital controls, examples are introduced where countries actually apply capital controls and how these controls have been associated with a lesser exposure to international financial crises spillovers. 2011 Level: debutante Tax Havens - Investigating International Finance   New Economics Foundation Das kurze Video erklärt Begriffe und Messgrößen wie das BIP, den Gini-Koeffizient (Ungleichheit in der Bevölkerung), den HDI (inkludiert menschliche Entwicklung) und die Berechnung der Armutsgrenze. Außerdem wird zusammengefasst, wie wirtschaftliche Entwicklung Armut verringern kann und wie dabei eine wachsende Ungleichheit entsteht. Am Schluss wird allgemein die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung von Staaten und ihre Einteilung in Industrie-, Schwellen-, und Entwicklungsländer erläutert. 2010 Level: debutante Die Karten der Weltwirtschaft Jean-Christophe Victor Mit offenen Karten The 2022 FIFA World Cup (including the construction work required for it) provides a clear example of economic activity that has taken place despite the financial costs to the Qatari state being an order of magnitude larger than the financial benefits it will receive. Whilst this is a fairly extreme case in terms of how many different costs and benefits are involved and how unequally they have been spread, many economic decisions are more complicated than mere financial calculations and it is therefore vital for students to be able to think about multiple dimensions involved in economic decisions. 2023 Level: debutante The Economics of a World Cup in Qatar Economy Studies Economy Studies Nancy Fraser et Elsa Dorlin, philosophes et militantes des Gender Studies, échangent et débattent autour de "Un féminisme pour les 99%.

Who Cares? Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics En trente ans, la finance est devenue toute-puissante. Pas un jour sans connaître les mouvements du FTSE ou du NASDAQ, pas une semaine sans analyse du change, pas un mois sans fermeture d’usine, pas un an sans inquiétude sur la dette publique, pas une décennie sans une crise financière. Le bilan macroéconomique de nos économies occidentales est peu glorieux : une croissance molle, des investissements atones, un chômage endémique, des inégalités croissantes. Le constat est sans appel : les politiques libérales ont déréglementé la finance, et la banque, qui accompagnait autrefois l’industrie dans ses investissements à long terme, lui fait aujourd’hui obstacle. La créativité des financiers s’est substituée à celle des entrepreneurs. Il est urgent de remettre la finance à sa place : ce n’est pas à l’économie d’obéir à la finance, mais à la finance de servir l’économie. Un ouvrage qui décrypte trente ans de financiarisation de l’économie, propose un examen détaillé de l’articulation entreprise/ finance et avance des propositions – analysées et commentées par Michel Aglietta – pour mieux penser l’économie réelle. 2016 Level: adelantado L'entreprise Liquidée Altrimenti Video, Sandra Rigot YouTube
