[ICRICT @icrict]

We must tax extremely large, wealthy corporations—especially multinationals— that are getting away without paying their fair share. The richest pay lower taxes than most workers, says @Jayati1609 in Rome along with Joseph Stiglitz & @Martin_M_Guzman @oxfamitalia.

How do we understand #Trump's tariff-fixation in economic terms?
Given his repeated statements that he is looking at tariffs as a source of revenue, does he think of them as a permanent feature or as a temporary negotiating tool?
And if his idea is to MAGA using tariffs to force manufacturing back to American soil, how then can tariffs be a meaningful source of revenue?
Also, won't the kind of tariffs he imposed (and then paused for 30 days) on Canada and Mexico and China -- hurt American businesses and citizens as well?
What are the options for the Global South, including the BRICS+, faced with his aggressive rhetoric about imposing 100% tariffs on them if they tried to undermine the US dollar hegemony?
Finally, is the US moving away from a half-century old paradigm of open trade and integrated markets, to one of localised production and protected markets?

These are some of the issues unpacked in this fascinating conversation with @cpc01 for @the_hindu

Taxation enables a civilised society, and multinationals and the rich must pay their fair share.

I argue that the mainstream discipline of economics needs to change drastically if it is to be of any use in confronting the pressing challenges we face in the world today.

[Economic & Political Weekly @epw_in]

The combination of debt reduction, improved debt terms and locked-in conservation spending is presented as a “win-win” outcome for all concerned. But as critics have been quick to point out, there is much to be wary of in these complex transactions.

Last week, the @IMFNews released its latest report on Pakistan. It marked the start of our 24th waltz together. It pulled us back from the brink of default. We all heaved a sigh of relief. But the report reads like an SOS. A last call. You might want to sit down for this one ...
