Can the Global South Prosper While the Neoliberal Order Is on Edge?

Anastasia Nesvetailova & Herman Mark Schwartz

Drawing on the United Nations’ 2024 Trade and Development Report, released today, Anastasia Nesvetailova (Head, Macroeconomic and Development Policies Branch, UN Trade and Development - UNCTAD) and Herman Mark Schwartz (Professor of Politics, University of Virginia) argue that as the current geopolitical economic order is unraveling, it is apparent that neither manufacturing, nor export-led growth, nor relative global security, have managed to deliver widespread wellbeing.

What that means in practice is that tax rates should not be set with the aim of balancing the budget, they should be structured to achieve the public purpose.

Growing Pains: Climate Change and the Socialist Transformation

Enzo Rossi

Both degrowth and ecomodernism share a commitment to democratic planning, but their competing narratives have been distorted by an over-reliance on speculative empirics and the allure of conflicting aesthetics. To overcome this, we must focus on developing a practical vision that combines elements from both camps, building outwards from concrete local struggles to democratise the economy.

Panos Tsoukalis

Capitalism has changed in a way that is rendering the label ‘neoliberalism’ outdated.
