The phenomenon of brain drain is when the best and brightest workers from poor countries immigrate to rich countries in the pursuit of higher pay and living conditions. This can hinder the development of poor countries because many of their best workers leave. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This year, more voters than ever before will take part in national elections. At the same time, democratic norms and policies are under threat globally. Why is this happening, and what should be done about it? In a new episode of Talking Policy, host Lindsay Shingler talks with Dr. Pranab Bardhan, a distinguished professor emeritus of economics at UC Berkeley, about his book, A World of Insecurity: Democratic Disenchantment in Rich and Poor Countries. Bardhan shows that both cultural and economic insecurity are contributing to the trend of democratic backsliding, and offers perspectives on policies that would make citizens of democracies more secure while protecting the processes and norms of democratic governance. This interview was conducted on April 16, 2024. The transcript has been edited for length and clarity.

In this fascinating episode of Guerrilla History, we are joined by fan-favorite Manny Ness to discuss one of his new books, Migration as Economic Imperialism: How International Labour Mobility Undermines Economic Development in Poor Countries.  This work directly takes on and dismantles the notion that labor migration is beneficial for the countries of the Global South who send their workers abroad.  This is a common refrain in mainstream, neoliberal developmentalist discourse, and this book and the conversation we are having around it are a vital corrective.  We are sure you are going to get a lot out of this one! Immanuel Ness  is  Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College, City University of New York and Visiting Professor of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg.  He is the author or editor of numerous works including Organizing Insurgency: Workers' Movements in the Global South, Southern Insurgency: The Coming of the Global Working Class, and The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism.  You can follow Manny on twitter @ImmanuelNess.

The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the "loss and damage" fund was essential to delivering climate justice to the most vulnerable. The first pledges -- after a three-decade campaign -- amount to a few hundred million dollars. Also in the programme: the legacy of the late US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in Chile; and the lead singer of the Anglo-Irish band The Pogues, Shane MacGowan, has died at the age of 65.(Photo: UAE chief climate negotiator for COP28, Hana al-Hashimi, during the climate change conference 2023, Dubai.

All the debt in the world is three-and-a-half times the size of the global economy: 349% of GDP, or $37,500 per person on Earth. It is unpayable. But poor countries are forced to pay high interest rates to rich bondholders on Wall Street, while Western vulture funds profit. Journalist Ben Norton analyzes the deeply unequal international financial system.

Rudy joins Immanuel Ness to discuss his recent work Migration as Economic Imperialism: How International Labour Mobility Undermines Economic Development in Poor Countries. We begin by explaining why migration is economic imperialism and addressing key questions about who migrates, their reasons, and destinations, highlighting evolving migration patterns. We explore how migration patterns are designed to meet labor demands and the role of recruitment agencies. Ness distinguishes between temporary and undocumented migrants, emphasizing the differences and discussing circular migration for highly-skilled individuals. Furthermore, he delves into the impact of skilled vs. unskilled migration on countries and the idea of migration as both individual freedom and national catastrophe. Ness also examines remittances, their framing by organizations like NGOs and the UN, their real-world implications, and how they tie into neoliberal ideology. We then discuss migration in the political realm: immigrant organization, their vulnerabilities, and reliance on personal actions or NGO support, with examples from the US and South Africa.

What happened to workers and others in Costa Rica when global companies imposed new responsible sourcing codes of conduct on their suppliers.

It sounds controversial, but there are persuasive arguments for the wealthy Global North to write off the debts lower-income nations have accrued. Some say the US and Europe actually owe it to them. This is one of those boring ones you shouldn't skip.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Research from Mexico — a typical country in terms of consistent involvement historically from the Bank and Fund — shows that for every 2% decrease in GDP, the mortality rate increased by 1%. Now consider that as a result of structural adjustment, the GDP of dozens of countries in the Third World between the 1960s and 1990s suffered double-digit contractions. Despite massive population growth, many of these economies stagnated or shrank over 15-25 year periods.

"Far from playing the role of good samaritan, the Fund does not even follow the timeless human tradition, established more than 4,000 years ago by Hammurabi in ancient Babylon, of forgiving interest after natural disasters. In 1985, a devastating earthquake hit Mexico City, killing more than 5,000 people and causing $5 billion of damage. Fund staff — who claim to be saviors, helping to end poverty and save countries in crisis — arrived a few days later, demanding to be repaid." - Alex Gladstein If you aren't pissed off yet with Parts 1 & 2, this section is surely to push you over the edge.

Claremont is rich in many resources, not the least of which are the smart, active and involved residents.  One of the most prominent is Evaggelos Vallianatos, Ph.D , an ecopolitical theorist and environmental strategist, historian and outspoken activist in the fight against global warming.  He describes this struggle as a matter of life-and-death for us all.  In the first of what is planned to be a series of forthright and pointed interviews,  Dr. Vallianatos posits that Claremont could, should - must - be a leader in this fight, and how Claremont could lead by example.  Claremont's leadership in this regard - if the city leaders, businesses and residents so choose to accept the challenge - would benefit Claremont environmentally, financially, and by increasing the value of living in the city, all while making valuable and effective local contributions against global warming.   One may not be able to change the world,  but the measures to change things locally are well within reach.Dr. Vallianatos' Contact Information:evaggelosg@gmail.comhttp://vallianatos.blogspot.comhttps://www.counterpunch.org/author/evaggelos-vallianatos/https://muckrack.com/evaggelosvallianatosSelected Highlights of Dr. Vallianatos' Biography:Experience: Capitol Hill, 1976-78: International politics of food and agricultureUS Environmental Protection Agency, 1979-2004: environmental regulation, human and ecological risks of pesticides and industrialized agriculture, benefits of organic farming alternatives to industrialized farming, climate changeTeachingDr. Vallianatos has taught at several universities, including Pitzer College and California Polytechnic University, Pomona.Books by Dr. Vallianatos (Amazon Links)This Land is Their Land: How Corporate Farms Threaten the WorldThe Antikythera Mechanism: The Story Behind the Genius of the Greek Computer and its Demise Poison Spring: The Secret History of Pollution and the EPA Fear in the Countryside: The Control of Agriculture in the Poor Countries by Non-Peasant Elites.  Feedback, questions, comments, constructive criticism are all welcomed and encouraged.Send to claremontspeaks@gmail.com with Feedback in the subject line, or go to the appropriate page on Claremont Speaks' website - https://www.claremontspeaks.comClaremont Speaks is a Paradise Road Media production.

"To give an example of what this might look like in a given year, in 2012 developing countries received $1.3 trillion, including all income, aid and investment. But that same year, more than $3.3 trillion flowed out. In other words, according to anthropologist Jason Hickel, “developing countries sent $2 trillion more to the rest of the world than they received.” When all the flows were added up from 1960 to 2017, a grim truth emerged: $62 trillion was drained out of the developing world" - Alex Gladstein Today we continue through Gladstein's incredible exploration of the monetary damage and systems of monetary colonialism established through the parasitic practices of the IMF and World Bank.

"A 2014 analysis showed that the IMF had attached, on average, 20 conditions to each loan it gave out in the previous two years, a historic increase. Countries like Jamaica, Greece and Cyprus have borrowed in recent years with an average of 35 conditions each. It is worth noting that Bank and Fund conditions have never included protections on free speech or human rights, or restrictions on military spending or police violence." - Alex Gladstein Today we dive into the first part of another incredible exploration of the corruption and monetary manipulation engaged in by the IMF and World Bank, how they strip poor nations of their resources, and paint themselves altruistic for doing so.

Alex Gladstein is Chief Strategy Officer at the Human Rights Foundation. In this interview, we discuss the IMF and World Bank - two powerful multinational institutions that have shaped the post-war world for developed nations' benefit. Alex uncovers the exploitation hidden from view and the ongoing real-world costs for the developing world. - - - - The IMF and World Bank are two major multinational institutions that have perhaps shaped the workings of the global economy more than any other. The issue is that, over the course of the past few decades, the IMF's and World Bank's roles and impacts have largely been forgotten. Whilst casual observers are distrustful of the IMF and World Bank, in the main, people's concern is vague, lacking facts or evidence. It's hard to know why this is, but it's worth noting that internally produced IMF and World Bank content dominates google search results at the expense of independent content. And yet, the impact of the IMF and World Bank has been catastrophic for many developing nations. Specifically, it has been problematic for those outside the gilded circles of power in such countries who have had to carry the burden of debt through significant assaults on public services, food security and other fundamental quality-of-life provisions. The reason? Neocolonialism. Extraction of resources from the periphery for the benefit of the centre. Indebtedness has been the tool used. A Ponzi scheme of debt relief to support debt servicing, designed to keep countries subservient to those controlling the IMF and World Bank. The cost is dictatorships, corruption, environmental degradation, and the destruction of potentially millions of lives. It is uncertain whether Bitcoin can fix this. But, it acts as a powerful disincentive and disruption by weakening the exorbitant privilege of the dollar and enabling the innocent people subjugated by the IMF and World Bank and their own elites, an opportunity to opt-out of this system. Our role within Bitcoin is to discuss this history and help free those still bound by its constraints.

“You talk about the CIA and American foreign policy during the Cold War…that's like level one. We're on a second level here, the IMF and World Bank are operating on a meta-level, like we're above Cold War politics, we're at the level of timeless, strong countries abusing poor countries; this is way beyond the Cold War.”— Alex GladsteinAlex Gladstein is Chief Strategy Officer at the Human Rights Foundation.

https://youtu.be/fmh1JeGAVP0 Here's why: almost a hundred years ago, the Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises explained that socialism, even if run by benevolent despots and populated with workers willing to work for the common good, could still not match capitalism's performance. Socialism requires abolishing private property in the means of production. But private property is necessary to have the free exchange of labor, capital, and goods that establish proper prices. Without proper prices, socialist planners could not know which consumer goods were needed or how best to produce them....Socialism also gives tremendous power to government officials and bureaucrats who are the system's planners—and with that power comes corruption, abuse, and tyranny. It is no accident that the worst democides of the twentieth century occurred in socialist countries like the Soviet Union, Communist China, and Nazi (National Socialist) Germany, where planners simply decided to eliminate populations they thought interfered with their plans. - Robert Lawson and Benjamin Powell, Socialism Sucks: Two Economists Drink Their Way Through the Unfree World Dr. Ben Powell is the Executive Director of the Free Market Institute at Texas Tech University and a Professor of Economics in the Rawls College of Business and a Senior Fellow with the Independent Institute.

Developing countries are under tremendous strain while attempting to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.  To try and free-up resources so that they can better protect lives and livelihoods, the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund in April called on creditors to allow lower income countries to suspend their bilateral debt service payments and focus resources on responding to the pandemic. The plan – called the Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI) – was taken up by G20 Finance Ministers. On this edition of the Development Podcast, we hear from the World Bank Group's Global Director for Macroeconomics, Trade and Investment, Marcello Estevão, who answers our questions on how the program works and just how effective it has been.

It appears many Indians and Brazilians and Chinese are willing to risk the global warming for a chance at experiencing even a small piece of what wealthy first-world climate activists have been enjoying all their lives.Original Article: Greta Thunberg To Poor Countries: Drop Dead.

The Trump administration pulled India and Turkey from the US Generalized System of Preference, a program that offers zero tariffs to imports from poor countries. Keynes and Bown explain the decision and how it fits into a broader battle between rich and poor countries around special and differential treatment and how it is holding up progress on WTO negotiations.
