Hartmut Elsenhans's new book "Capitalism and Rent: A Destructive Relationship" (2023) summarizes his central argument on capitalism: Capitalism, profit and development depend on rising mass incomes and hence on the empowerment of the labouring masses. The powerful always fight against such empowerment, with increasing success because of globalisation of rent. A conversation with Rachid Ouaissa.

By Rajat Panwar (Oregon), Jonatan Pinkse (Manchester) and Valentina De Marchi (Padova)   Far from uprooting the system, Covid-19 is bringing in a renaissance period which will result in transformed, and in some areas stronger, value chains which will deepen the roots of globalisation. Introduction The relentless onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic has stressed our … Continued

It's entirely true that globalisation is changing and yet: How about citizen consultations on bringing back some manufacturing? We may have clever ideas that politicos and their advisers have overlooked. America is embarking on a win-win strategy by subsidising companies that create green jobs: green transformation, new skilled jobs and less dependence on China. Imagine what a high-end chip plant in the West Midlands could do for Britain.Jobs, as we never tire of pointing out, are a cost, not a benefit. Creating more jobs in the energy production system is creating more costs in the energy production system. Requiring more human labour to produce the same value of output also lowers labour productivity - by definition. And since average wages depend upon the average productivity of labour - not just depend upon, are determined by - this lowers all wages in the United States. This is not good policy. As to citizens consultations of course these happen every time anyone buys anything. And a high end chip plant in the West Midlands? We have no one in the country who can actually run a high end chip plant - as the Americans are finding out there, tens of billions of $ have been sprayed at building the factories only to find out they've not got the workers. It is entirely true that globalisation is changing but it's changing in the right manner. Which is that market participants are experimenting with what to do and then doing more of what works, less of what doesn't. Rather than change in globalisation being a green light for every planning stupidity that fools can come up with.A change in how the market system allocates is not an excuse for not using the market system of allocation - quite the opposite.

The literature on populism in the 21st century often assumes that far-right leaders draw their support from voters who have lost out to globalisation. This is the case among low-skilled, white workers in Global North democracies, including the United States. But, there are also meaningful occurrences of backlash against the political establishment and liberal values in parts of the Global South that have clearly benefited from the post-Cold War trade openness. For instance, two of the largest democracies in the developing world have been shaken by right-wing movements that came to power with the support of the winners of economic liberalisation. In Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, a former army captain, won the presidency in 2018 with the support of agribusiness exporters ...
