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.

John Christensen from the Tax Justice Network addresses the Modern Monetary Theory idea that governments don't need tax revenues if they want to spend money. Doing so, he sums up the main points made by MMT proponents and their critics, and shows how MMT can be reconciled with another progressive economic narrative: "Modern Tax Theory". While MMT made valuable contributions to the policy debate on fiscal policy, it misrepresents the importance of taxation as a political matter and as a way to generate public revenues. This is where MMT steps in. 2019 Level: początkujący The Magic Money Tree: From Modern Monetary Theory to Modern Tax Theory John Christensen Tax Justice Network Yao Graham, coordinator of Third World Network- Africa, reflects on lessons learned from past Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), specifically as they relate to the Post-Cotonou Agreement. 2020 Level: początkujący Lessons From Economic Partnership Agreements to the Post- Cotonou Framework Yao Graham Post-Colonialisms Today: postcolonialisms.regionsrefocus.org Alle Macht den Plattformen?

At the core of global economic problems is insufficient demand caused by falling wage shares, because most individual countries, and the world as a whole are “wage-led”. Hence a strategy for global growth is to aim at increasing wages and thus the wage share, and the abandonment of policies focusing purely on national competitiveness. Financialization has broken the link between corporate profitability and investment. Reregulation of finance and higher public investment is required in order to crowd in private investment, in this way, reversing the declining trend of potential output growth. 2015 Level: zaawansowane Current Problems of Secular Stagnation from a Global Perspective Özlem Onaran IMK
