Hirschman's tunnel effect: Idea that society will first tolerate inequality in the hope of eventually benefiting from the economic surge. Suppose you're in a tunnel, waiting for traffic to move. The other lane, headed the same way, starts moving. You first celebrate it.... (1/2)

Commodity dependence is a state that’s hard to change. But it must not be seen as fate. @UNCTAD ’s Commodities & Development Report 2021 explains how developing countries can harness technology and innovation to escape the trap.

Human rights are universal. These values should be applied to ALL populations, regarding of nationality, ethnic, or religious background. Preventing access to water, electricity and movement should NEVER be endorsed, not least celebrated. The EU is loosing credibility here.

Russia’s attacks against civilian infrastructure, especially electricity, are war crimes. Cutting off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating with winter coming - these are acts of pure terror. And we have to call it as such.

Remembering the massacre of 45,000 Algerians on 8 May 1945. As the victory against Fascism & the holocaust machine was proclaimed, Algerians were massacred by the French army for marching for freedom. Freedom celebrated in Europe, and oppression just across the sea. The Paradox

17 October 1961. Paris, France. 60th anniversary of a dark day when the French Government drowned hundreds of Algerians who were marching peacefully for freedom and independance. Duty to remember. (And to remind and re-educate those who want to deny and rewrite History).

We need an honest east-west discussion about industrial policy

There is evidence that both Adam Smith & Marx had read English translations of Ibn Khaldun's work (already accessible at the time). Arthur Laffer is a different case: he recognized his work was inspired by Ibn Khaldun, and said himself we shouldn't call it the Laffer curve.

What happens when tax cuts are given to the wealthiest to "boost" economic growth? Wealth does not trickle down & remains concentrated at the top. Growing frustration leads to social unrest & instability that affect everyone. Thanks @NLepan for this nice visual #CollapsingPyramid
