The unequalising growth model has run out of steam as I have been warning since 2019. To avoid economic stagnation it is now super-critical to address the technical and institutional Barriers to making things that the top 3-400 million want at affordable prices. 1/3

When a Central Bank has to revise its near term annual growth projection five times and by 240 basis points in 10 months it is either technically deficient or is calibrating its forecasts to political suasion. Or, worse, both. #RBI

“ sustainable net zero” means: The West will consume as it always has, by extracting from the rest. Climate warriors will take their children to school and on summer holidays in their electric cars powered by lithium mined by Africans

First They Mined for the Atomic Bomb. Now They’re Mining for E.V.s.

Miners in the Democratic Republic of Congo face few protections in the global rush for metals for the energy transition—as well as a toxic legacy from a previous rush to mine for nuclear weapons.
