An academic from India and writer from Denmark talk to Ella Al-Shamahi about how the way economies are measured influences policy and undervalues both unpaid and paid care work, and affects the lives of women on every level. Emma Holten is a Danish feminist commentator whose book, Deficit: how feminist economics can change our world, became a best seller in her home country. It highlights how economics have shaped a world in which there is no value attached to care, happiness or quality of living. Emma says that by including only things that can be measured economics ignores many of the most important things in life.Jayati Ghosh is professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, in the US. In 2021 the United Nations named her to be on the High-level Advisory Board on Economic and Social Affairs. She presented a series of lectures on feminist economics for the International Association of Feminist Economics. She's written many books with a focus on informal workers in the Global South and has advised governments in India and other countries.Produced by Jane Thurlow(Image: (L) Emma Holten credit Claudia Vega.

Suzi recently attended a conference in honor of the dissident sociologist Boris Kagarlitsky — who is languishing in Putin's prison for speaking out against the war in Ukraine. On this episode of Jacobin Radio, we bring you the panel from the conference discussing Boris's latest book, The Long Retreat, published while he was in prison. Three activist-scholars, Bill Fletcher Jr., Alex Callinicos, and Jayati Ghosh, present their appreciation and their critiques of Kagarlitsky's analysis of the rise of the right and the decline of the left over the last forty plus years. Our speakers address Kagarlitsky's internationalist account of left organizations across the globe that, he argues, remain stuck in the past, unable to come to terms with new realities. The speakers also address Kagarlitsky's critique of identitarian politics of difference, which makes forming broad mass political projects difficult. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

NITI Aayog B.V.R. Subrahmanyam recently claimed that less than 5% of Indians now live below the poverty line. He made the claim based on the findings of the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES), 2022-23. Mr. Subrahmanyam argued that the average consumption expenditure in the bottom 5% of India's population, as estimated by the survey, is about the same as the poverty line in India, suggesting that the poverty rate in India is somewhere in the range of 0 to 5%. Has poverty really dropped to 5% in India? Here we discuss the question.

Le Festival du film et forum international sur les droits humains (FIFDH) de Genève a dévoilé le programme de sa 22e édition, qui se déroulera du 8 au 17 mars prochain à Genève.  Sous le thème "Entre résistances et révoltes : le pouvoir des images", le FIFDH mettra en lumière les défis mondiaux des droits humains à travers une sélection de films et des discussions animées par des experts et des militants.  Des personnalités telles qu'Angela Davis, Jayati Ghosh et Dmitri Mouratov seront présentes pour partager leurs perspectives.  Le festival abordera divers sujets, dont la situation des femmes en Afghanistan, la lutte pour la liberté de la presse en Russie et la résistance des Ouïghours en Chine.  Il va également évoquer les thèmes de l'occupation israélienne, de l'antisémitisme et du racisme systémique, tout en examinant les intersections entre droits humains, environnement et intelligence artificielle.  En plus des projections de films, le FIFDH organisera des discussions sur les enjeux actuels des droits humains et s'engagera auprès du jeune public. Avec un budget de 2,5 millions de francs, le festival vise à renforcer sa position en tant que plateforme de premier plan pour le dialogue et l'action en faveur des droits de l'Homme. Epiphane Amanfo est par téléphone avec Romain Adet le responsable des Forums à ce FIFDH 2024. 

The prospect of a world without work - that was the vision offered up by Elon Musk this month. The US tech billionaire has predicted that artificial intelligence will eventually mean that no one will have to work. Mr Musk suggested that society could reach a point where “no job is needed” and “you can do a job if you want a job, but the AI will do everything”. Contrasting with the idea of the zero-hour working week, Indian software billionaire and Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy - says that young people should be ready to work 70 hours a week to help the country's development. Since the pandemic, many companies allow their employees to work from home. Others have moved to a four-day working week, citing benefits such as increased productivity and significant financial savings for employees on transport and childcare. But some employers insist the shorter working week doesn't work - saying employees ended up having more stressful workdays, and feeling exhausted once they reached their scheduled days off. How many hours should a person work in a week? Is a world without work desirable? If AI will be capable of doing many jobs, should employees be fearing the future - or take advantage of these changes, and strive for new ways of working? What's the future of work? Shaun Ley is joined by: Andrew Palmer, who writes The Economist's Bartleby column, which explores management and the world of work Brendan Burchell, professor in social sciences at the University of Cambridge. He's done a lot of work on the way labour markets affect individuals Anat Lechner, clinical professor of management and organisations at New York University Also featuring: Jayati Ghosh, professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst Elliot Keck, Head of Campaigns at the Taxpayers' Alliance Gary Conroy, CEO of Five Squirrels, a company in the skincare industry which operates on a four-day working week Produced by Max Horberry and Ellen Otzen (Photo: Getty)

In this episode of International Horizons, RBI director John Torpey interviewed Jayati Ghosh, professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, about different debates surrounding inequality. Ghosh criticizes the flaws in some inequality indicators that are focusing only on measuring how the poor are doing and not on how the rich are getting richer, or other indicators that exaggerate the performance of the poorest vis-a-vis the richest. Other indicators such as nutrition are misleading, she argues, because governments are focusing on what people are eating and not on the outcomes such as body mass index, anemia or diabetes. Moreover, some governments are using statistical legerdemain to enhance their apparent performance. Finally, Professor Ghosh discusses her research on the COVID pandemic and the way pharmaceutical companies deliberately slowed down the process of spreading the vaccine for their own gain. She argues that COVID revealed and accentuated massive inequalities between countries of the Global North and Global South and that the recent increase in grain prices was not caused by the war on Ukraine but by the ability of global agribusiness to manipulate prices. International Horizons is a podcast of the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies that brings scholarly expertise to bear on our understanding of international issues. John Torpey, the host of the podcast and director of the Ralph Bunche Institute, holds conversations with prominent scholars and figures in state-of-the-art international issues in our weekly episodes.

The renowned development economist, Jayati Ghosh, offers an eye-opening perspective on the different facets of inequality and the need for systemic change to address them, bringing together her interests in international trade and finance, employment patterns in developing countries, as well as issues related to gender and development. Ghosh argues for the need to redress the power imbalances which are reinforcing socially irrational and unjust policies. Through the prisms of gender inequality, social discrimination, and the global power dynamics between countries, Ghosh looks at how relational inequality impacts the ability of individuals or groups to influence the actions of others, affecting their agency and power. She delves into the undervaluing and under-rewarding of care work, to highlight the lack of power and voice that care workers and unpaid caregivers have in society compared to the significant influence of financial institutions and corporations. Ghosh also critiques the worldwide prevalence of crony capitalism and plutocracy, and - as an antidote to despair - she argues the need for mobilisation and collective action to increase the power of those who need it.Jayati Ghosh taught economics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi for nearly 35 years, and since January 2021 has been Professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is co-chair of the Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation and a member of the UN Secretary-general's High-Level Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism and the World Health Organization's Council on the Economics of Health for All.Thoughts and suggestions?

$200 billion dollars. This is how much profit the big 5 fossil fuel companies have made in 2022.Shocked? Disgusted? Angry? Join the club… While major corporations are announcing record-breaking profits in 2022, more and more people are falling behind having to make difficult choices such as heating or eating.Clearly, corporations are not reading the room and in today's episode we discuss how creating a windfall tax on such profits would be a way of better redistributing wealth rather than condoning greed and exploitation.Our two incredible guests: Jayati Ghosh, Chairperson of the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning at the Jawaharlal Nehru University and Chiara Putaturo, EU Inequalities and Tax Policy Advisor, Oxfam EU explain why windfall taxes are so important and can be used as a tool:To  provide governments with revenue to reinvest fairlyTo deter corporations from manipulating pricesTo stop inflationWe take a look at what implementing windfall taxes could actually look like, while also debunking all the reasons currently put forward to fight such measures.At the end of this episode we hope you will better understand what power windfall taxes hold!

L'économiste indienne Jayati Ghosh dirige avec Joseph Stiglitz un groupe de réflexion baptisé ICRICT, qui milite pour une réforme de la fiscalité des multinationales. La Commission européenne présente ce 30 septembre en Conseil des ministres européens une contribution de solidarité sur des superprofits des géants de l'énergie. Bruxelles ne propose pas de taxe, ni d'impôt, car cela nécessiterait un vote à l'unanimité, alors que l'Europe a en son sein plusieurs paradis fiscaux qui se seraient opposés à cette question. Elle propose une « contribution » exceptionnelle. Il s'agit d'imposer à hauteur de 33% les bénéfices extraordinaires engrangés pendant la crise. Seront taxés les profits « indus » excédant de plus de 20% les bénéfices moyens des trois années précédentes. Cette contribution rapporterait, selon Ursula von der Leyen, la cheffe de l'exécutif européen, 140 milliards d'euros. L'Europe pourrait ainsi réaliser ce pour quoi Jayati Ghosh se bat depuis des années. Qui est donc cette femme engagée ? Son modèle Enveloppée dans son sari indien, Jayati Ghosh écoute attentivement son interlocuteur. Et c'est avec la fougue de ses vingt ans qu'elle nous a parlé de ses batailles. Née il y a 67 ans à Bangkok, elle revient avec ses parents, fonctionnaires, en Inde où elle étudie la sociologie à l'Université de Delhi et l'économie à l'Université Jawaharlal Nehru où elle enseigne aujourd'hui encore. À 22 ans, c'est un grand ami de son père qui devient son modèle : « Ashok Mitra était économiste. Il écrivait beaucoup et ses ouvrages étaient très discutés à l'époque. Il tenait une chronique dans un journal indien de renom. Il voulait changer le monde. Entré au gouvernement de gauche du Bengal Occidental en tant ministre des Finances en 1977, Ashok Mitra a engagé une réforme agraire, il a redistribué des terres et donné plus de pouvoir aux autorités locales.

L'économiste indienne Jayati Ghosh dirige avec Joseph Stiglitz un groupe de réflexion baptisé ICRICT, qui milite pour une réforme de la fiscalité des multinationales. La Commission européenne présente ce 30 septembre en Conseil des ministres européens une contribution de solidarité sur des superprofits des géants de l'énergie. Bruxelles ne propose pas de taxe, ni d'impôt, car cela nécessiterait un vote à l'unanimité, alors que l'Europe a en son sein plusieurs paradis fiscaux qui se seraient opposés à cette question. Elle propose une « contribution » exceptionnelle. Il s'agit d'imposer à hauteur de 33% les bénéfices extraordinaires engrangés pendant la crise. Seront taxés les profits « indus » excédant de plus de 20% les bénéfices moyens des trois années précédentes. Cette contribution rapporterait, selon Ursula von der Leyen, la cheffe de l'exécutif européen, 140 milliards d'euros. L'Europe pourrait ainsi réaliser ce pour quoi Jayati Ghosh se bat depuis des années. Qui est donc cette femme engagée ? Son modèle Enveloppée dans son sari indien, Jayati Ghosh écoute attentivement son interlocuteur. Et c'est avec la fougue de ses vingt ans qu'elle nous a parlé de ses batailles. Née il y a 67 ans à Bangkok, elle revient avec ses parents, fonctionnaires, en Inde où elle étudie la sociologie à l'Université de Delhi et l'économie à l'Université Jawaharlal Nehru où elle enseigne aujourd'hui encore. À 22 ans, c'est un grand ami de son père qui devient son modèle : « Ashok Mitra était économiste. Il écrivait beaucoup et ses ouvrages étaient très discutés à l'époque. Il tenait une chronique dans un journal indien de renom. Il voulait changer le monde. Entré au gouvernement de gauche du Bengal Occidental en tant ministre des Finances en 1977, Ashok Mitra a engagé une réforme agraire, il a redistribué des terres et donné plus de pouvoir aux autorités locales. Et il a œuvré pour que l'éducation soit plus inclusive. Je pense que j'ai fait mien ce mélange de littérature, d'analyse économique et d'engagement politique et social, qui le caractérisait. » L'économie pour comprendre le social Jayati Ghosh dénonce régulièrement les discriminations fondées sur les castes qui, malgré leur interdiction par la Constitution indienne, persistent.

In this special bonus episode of World Review, we look at the results of a two year initiative on how we can achieve wellbeing for all within planetary boundaries. 50 years after the ground breaking The Limits to Growth report, a new book Earth For All details five turnarounds that are the minimum requirements for our societies to build economies that support wellbeing for all, whilst protecting the planet. The project brings together scientists and economists to show that it is possible to upgrade our economics and transform our societies with immediate, focused large-scale investment. Philippa Nuttall is joined by some of the books authors: Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Co-President of the Club of Rome, Jayati Ghosh, an internationally recognized development economist and professor at the University of Massachusetts and Jorgen Randers, professor emeritus of climate strategy at the BI Norwegian Business School.

Lord Turner is the former Chair of the Energy Transitions Commission, a think tank dedicated to fighting climate change through public policy. He is a senior fellow, and former chair, of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, the organization affiliated with Jayati Ghosh from our previous episode. He has held numerous high positions at multinational corporations such as McKinsey, Chubb, and many more. He has given numerous lectures at prestigious schools such as the London School of Economics and MIT. He is the author of two books: "Economics after the Crisis" and "Between Debt and the Devil." Both are sobering analyses of current macroeconomic trends. We discussed the current state of capitalism, how policy from the '80s contributes to today's inequality, and why liberal policies don't always work the way they are intended.

The World Bank has pledged 30 billion dollars to help tackle world hunger over the next 15 years. Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, US, Jayati Ghosh, gives us her take on whether that amount is enough. Share prices in the United States have seen their biggest one day drop since 2020. The DOW Jones Industrial Average fell more than three and a half percent. Our Business Correspondent Samira Hussein tells us why. As things take another turn for the worse in Sri Lanka, the power minister Kanchana Wijesekera says people should stop queueing for fuel - as the country has no money to buy any. Shanta Devarajan who's part of the Sri Lankan team speaking to the IMF, tells us about the negotiations. Walter Koenig from the Bavaria Brewers Federation tells us about German worries that a shortage of beer bottles there could leave people without their favourite drink.

How does the shift away from cash economies affect relationships of debt and belonging? Through studying forms of cashless payment, such as mobile money and apps, this panel of scholars explored questions about how the social connections made through money are changing, and what the implications might be for our understanding of money, trust, and social connection. Recorded on April 14, 2022, this panel discussion was presented by the University of California, Berkeley's Social Science Matrix and the Network for a New Political Economy (N2PE). The panel featured Kevin Donovan, Lecturer in the Centre of African Studies at the University of Edinburgh; Lana Swartz, Assistant Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia; and Jayati Ghosh, Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The panel was moderated by Marion Fourcade, Professor of Sociology at UC Berkeley and Director of Social Science Matrix.

In a few days, a 36-year-old former student leader who wants to fight inequality will become the President of Chile. He says, “If Chile was the cradle of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave”.We find out about what President-elect Gabriel Boric wants to do, and about the movement of young people whose protests have swung the pendulum of power in Chile.We take a trip to 1973 to the birth of neoliberalism – the economic ideology that would go on to spread across the world – under military dictatorship.And we ask if this is part of a wider progressive wave across Latin America.Co-hosts Nadia and Nabil are joined by two amazing guests for this fascinating conversation.Noam Titelman played a vital part in the Chilean youth movement as an activist, was the spokesperson of national university students' confederation (CONFECH), and was a founding member of the Broad Front (Frente Amplio) Chilean political coalition established by former student activists. Currently he's a PhD researcher in the London School of Economics and Political Science.We also speak to Ana Caistor Arendar who is campaigns lead at Progressive International, which unites, organizes, and mobilizes progressive forces around the world. She was formerly a journalist in Latin America before going on to become an expert, activist and advocate on inequality on the continent and worldwide.

When poorer countries face unpayable debts, their ability to mount a defence against climate breakdown is drastically weakened. That’s why any attempts to prevent ecological disaster must involve ending debts and co-operating on global tax measures, says Indian development economist Jayati Ghosh. In an extended interview with Harpreet Kaur Paul, Ghosh breaks down the fundamentals […]

The Women in Economics series showcases extraordinary work by extraordinary women in a field dominated by men. In this second episode, journalist Rhoda Metcalfe speaks with Jayati Ghosh, Professor of Economics at University of Massachusetts Amherst, whose work on gender issues and the public value of care work gives voice to the unpaid caregivers who form the economic base for societies around the world. In this podcast, Ghosh says our whole notion of productivity is skewed because most care work is not captured in GDP.  Transcript: https://bit.ly/3lUclqA

The news from India is grim. A Covid wave is sweeping the country, inflicting widespread misery and deaths. Government figures of Covid-related fatalities are widely seen as very much underreported. India may soon pass the U.S. as the global leader in deaths. Analysts say that the country wasn't prepared to handle the surge. Hospitals have been overwhelmed and there are acute shortages of oxygen, medicine and vaccines. The country is ruled by Narendra Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the BJP. It is a Hindu nationalist party. It has come under wide criticism for its handling of the crisis. Noted writer Arundhati Roy says, “It is hard to convey the full depth and range of the trauma, chaos and indignity that India's Covid catastrophe has inflicted. Meanwhile, Modi and his allies tell people not to complain.” Interview by David Barsamian.

Lori Wallach, of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, and Jayati Ghosh, economics professor at UMass Amherst, discuss how first world countries are protecting pharma companies' exorbitant profits, at the expense of vaccinating people living in the Global South and thereby also endangering everyone in the world.

Guest lecturer, Jayati Ghosh joins us from New Delhi to talk to us about "The Pandemic and the Indian government's response". The lecture is part of the LSE ID Cutting Edge Issues in Development Thinking & Practice series.

INET at the Trento Economics Festival 2: A dialogue between Jayati Ghosh, Rohinton Medhora, Joseph E. Stiglitz, coordinated by Robert Johnson The world won't emerge from the pandemic until the pandemic is controlled everywhere, and this is a special concern because of the new mutations that are likely to arise where the disease is running its course. So too, the world won't have a robust economic recovery until at least most of the world is on the course to prosperity. Global growth is far more muted now than then, and inward-looking policies in some of the nations where growth has been restored have resulted in an increase in their trade surplus, attenuating the global impact of their recovery.

In the second episode of the Diversity in Science podcast series - produced in partnership with Nature - we look at how including multiple perspectives can create better science. Jayati Ghosh argues that a lack of diversity in economics has made the discipline less able to actually understand the economy. Dan Inkoom discusses how so-called “ordinary people” in Ghana have much to contribute to his field of urban planning. And Simone Athayde explains how working with indigenous communities in the Amazon helped researchers to discover new things.###This series will highlight all aspects of diversity in science – asking why diversity matters, why diversity makes for better science, how to integrate diverse voices and different perspectives in research, and how to promote inclusion of less well represented or marginalized groups in science settings, including women, people of colour, LGBTQI people, people with disabilities, and people who take a non-traditional route into science.​It will ask what practical steps can be put in place to improve diversity in science workplaces and ways of working, and how organizations such as the ISC can be ‘better allies for better science'.​Learn more: https://council.science/podcast/nature-working-scientists/

Millions of Indians risk being knocked back into poverty by the current explosion in coronavirus infections. Rahul Tandon hears from Radhika, who abruptly lost her job in Mumbai when India went into lockdown last year, and has since struggled with thoughts of suicide. Newspaper columnist Sandip Roy discusses how Covid threatens to strip many self-identifying middle class of their sense of comfort and security. Meanwhile, many women who run their own businesses face ruin, according Renu Shah, who runs Shakti - an organisation that helps women entrepreneurs.

It has been called the world's biggest protest. In November 2020, thousands of farmers marched to New Delhi to protest against new laws that the Indian government says will modernise farming. The farmers set up camp in and around the capital, blocking major highways. Over 50 days later they are still there, in spite of freezing temperatures. Even after the Supreme Court stayed the laws until further notice, the farmers say they aren't budging until they are repealed completely. They say these reforms will strip them of protections they've enjoyed for decades, resulting in lower prices and ruined livelihoods. Kavita Puri hears why the protests matter for India's millions of farmers, for the future of the country's crisis-ridden agriculture, and the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. With contributions from agricultural policy expert, Devinder Sharma; Fellow of the American Enterprise Institute, Sadanand Dhume; Professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Jayati Ghosh; and BBC correspondent Soutik Biswas.

As countries face economies in recession, increasing debt, and growing fiscal deficits, leaders everywhere will face difficult choices. With the global economy projected by the IMF to contract by -3% in the next year, the world is bracing itself to face uncertainty. This however, is no time for timidity. There is opportunity in the midst of crisis to reset country courses for the economies of the future. From infrastructure to environment, to fiscal strategies for resilience, how can leaders act to leverage this challenge for a better future? Listen to the recording of a livestream discussion featuring the Hon. Ralph Goodale, former Canadian Finance Minister, Sonja Gibbs, Managing Director of Global Policy Initiatives at the Institute of International Finance, William White from the C.D. Howe Institute, and Jayati Ghosh, Chairperson of the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi.

As thousands of migrant labourers took to the streets in Bandra, Mumbai yesterday, as they had before in Delhi and Surat, it became impossible to ignore the harsh reality of this lockdown, and its crushing impact on over 70% of India's population. We sat down with Reetika Khera and Jayati Ghosh, two of India's leading development economists, to discuss the socio-economic ramifications of the lockdown extension, and what we can do to mitigate the crisis for the urban poor and migrant labourers.
