An examination of the data used and the claims made in the World Bank report, Trading for Development in the Age of Global Value Chains. While the report portrays global value chains as contributing to poor countries’ development, its data shows the opposite.
The ‘double reduction’ policy of minimising financial pressure on parents and burden on children can be seen as the government’s affirmation that the minds and health of students and families come before the pockets of investors and billionaires.
The creation of the modern, interconnected world is generally credited to European pioneers. But Africa was the wellspring for almost everything they achieved – and African lives were the terrible cost.
The author reflects on his family’s memories of socialist Hungary, drawing comparisons between their experiences and the current Hungarian government’s anti-communist slander.
The climate movement in the streets of Glasgow is aware that the science is clear and the solutions to the climate crisis are readily available. It is only political will that is lacking. This must be supplied by ordinary people, through creative, dramatic action and mass mobilization.

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.
