Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum, the head of government in Mexico City, speaks about what the project of MORENA, the fourth transformation, has meant for the people of Mexico, her initiatives to make the city a safer and more environmentally friendly one, and how she got into progressive politics.
South Africa is in serious trouble. Inequality is worse than under apartheid, and unemployment is at over 40%. On the face of it things could hardly be more propitious for a left challenge. But as the hegemony of the ANC crumbles, the left is not a player in electoral politics.
After 200 years, the time has come to do away with the colonial law of the past that has plagued communities in Latin America and the Caribbean for far too long. It’s time for the abolition of the Monroe Doctrine, the Jones Act, and the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act.
Measured by purchasing power parity, China’s economy passed the U.S. in 2014, and it is now roughly 25 percent larger. The IMF projects that China’s economy will be nearly 40 percent larger by 2028, the last year in its projections.
Globally, employment patterns are changing, including four-day weeks and remote work. Two articles.

I will celebrate Eid in my heart. I hope that the spirit of Eid touches all of us Indians and brings us closer. Somehow, the hatred that is surrounding us, the nightmare we are living in and the unsettling atmosphere of suspicion is dispelled. With these thoughts I wish you, dear reader, Eid Mubarak.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
