Economics Must Change!
[[link removed]]
_Jayati Ghosh_ / International Monetary Fund (Washington DC)
Sociopolitical tensions and geopolitical conflicts are creating
societies that may soon be dysfunctional to the point of being
unlivable. All this requires transformative economic strategies. Yet
the discipline’s mainstream persists in doing business as usual, as
if tinkering at the margins with minor changes could have any
meaningful impact.

JENIN RESISTANCE

_Mariam Barghouti_ / +972 (Tel Aviv)
Incessant Israeli incursions into Jenin refugee camp since October 7
have killed nearly 100 Palestinians, including many civilians. But as
repression surges, the children of the Second Intifada are taking up
arms.

_Lexie Harrison-Cripps_ / Al Jazeera (Doha)
By midday on March 8, 2024, small groups of women dressed in lilac,
wearing purple bandanas tied around their wrists, hair and necks,
started to congregate in Mexico City. Soon they comprised an
180,000-strong crowd, marching and chanting _“We are not one. We are
not ten. We are a s***load, count us right!” _together on
International Women’s Day.

Mozambicans Fight Gas Giants
[[link removed]]
_Ilham Rawoot_ / Waging Nonviolence (Brooklyn)
In Mozambique’s northernmost province of Cabo Delgado, multinational
giants TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil, Eni and others are developing three
liquid natural gas, or LNG, projects. Already the industry has brought
devastating consequences for communities, the land and climate. But
the international Say No to Gas! campaign won’t let it get away
with its actions without a fight.

LESSONS ABOUT FASCISM FROM CHILE’S STRUGGLE
[[link removed]]
_Rene Leal_ / Social Sciences (Basel, Switzerland)
This 2020 essay, while dated by the left’s failure to win a
plebiscite for a proposed Political Constitution of the Republic of
Chile in 2022, is still timely and useful for understanding the
continuing rise of the far right in the global south and north, and
resistance to it.

_Ozzi Warwick_ / Global Labour Column (Johannesburg)
The Global Labour University Online Academy training course assisted
the trade union movement in Trinidad and Tobago to halt the attempt to
impose a neoliberal policy and law. The knowledge, skills and
materials from the course allowed the Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union

the process and the contradictions within the policy.
