As the world enters the third decade of the twenty-first century, we are seeing the emergence of catastrophe capitalism as the structural crisis of the system takes on planetary dimensions.
The Modi government is moving to unlock the economy, even though the number of coronavirus cases continues to rise rapidly and has crossed more than 1.5 lakh. Is the new mantra of the government ‘Live and let die’?
Applying Caudwell’s theories to the construction of a contemporary socialist understanding of the role and function of art.
In a move that will surely worsen Somalia’s coronavirus crisis, the Trump Administration has quietly ramped up a bombing and covert raiding campaign.
Earth at 10°C above pre-industrial is a deadly horrifying thought, but it should not be dismissed out of hand.
The government is using the lockdown as an opportunity to clear many controversial projects, one such being the Central Vista Project. Despite its wastefulness, Modi is bent on promoting it as it fulfills a key RSS agenda.
Trump administration’s zeal in shifting attention from its own bungling of the Covid-19 crisis to putting the blame on China is weakening the global fight against the pandemic.
Trump is seeking to seize control of the development of the COVID-19 vaccine as a new instrument of global power, and so that Big Pharma can earn huge profits.
Trump blaming the pandemic solely on China is not only misleading, but hypocritical – as US agri-business corporations are equally responsible.
We are all weathering the same storm, but we are not all in the same boat.
