Professor emerita, economics; passionate about social justice, ecological sustainability & economics as if people at the bottom mattered. I'm on bluesky
America’s suicidal march began long before Donald Trump. Trump and the buffoons around him are the inevitable final chapter of the decaying empire.
Watch Eunice Wong's reading of my column, "America's Suicide Pact", now:

Human rights activist Osman Kavala, former pro-Kurdish party co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş, İstanbul mayor and opposition presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu, MP Can Atalay, and many others have been unjustly jailed. They grow older behind bars, their children grow up without them, their partners grow old alone. Yet, the world speaks of them less and less. What a staggering injustice.@hdpdemirtas@ekrem_imamoglu@CanAtalay1
Fossil fuel price shocks are redistribution shocks.
Last time, we warned windfall profits would benefit the ultra-rich at the expense of everyone else.
This time, there is no excuse. The numbers are in. We need windfall profit taxes & multilateral price caps now.

In economics, we cannot say that the marginal utility of providing milk to kids is more than that of a rich person enjoying an extra bid of caviar. Isn't this sociopathic? This lack of morality is designed to prevent redistribution.

📌Ermeni toplumunda yoksulluk
📌82 yaşındaki Kasapyan: Ben sokakta mı kalacağım?
✒️ Lusyen Kopar
▪️Ermeni toplumunda girerek artan yoksulluk, artık kira ödeyemediği için evden çıkarılma noktasına kadar geldi. Bakırköy'de oturan 82 yaşındaki Arşaluys Rita Kasapyan, yedi aydır kirasını ödeyemediği için oturduğu evden ayrılmak zorunda ancak gidecek yeri de yok. Kasapyan, "Cemaatimin her vakfına sesleniyorum! Bana uygun bir eviniz varsa lütfen yardım edin!" diyor.

Bu arada Yunan Ordusu denize dökülmedi. Onlar İzmir limanında bekleyen gemilere binip gittiler. Denize dökülenler İzmir, Aydın, Manisa, Balıkesir gibi yerlerde bin yıllardır yaşayıp, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu vatandaşı olan, Anadolulu ve savaşın korkusu ile İzmir Kemeraltına sığınan insanlardı. Onlar öldürüldü, denize atıldı. Haddinizi bir bilin.
@gezenhikayeci Öncelikle yaşadığınız şey adına çok üzgünüm. Okuyucu salonumuz araştırmacılarımıza açık. Kitaplığımızdaki kitaplarımızı incelediğiniz takdirde istediğiniz kadar oturabilirsiniz. Fakat sakinse genelde böyle bir tavır göstermiyoruz. Yine bekleriz.

I urge medical professionals worldwide to pursue the severance of all ties with Israel as a concrete way to forcefully denounce Israel's full destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system in Gaza, a critical tool of its ongoing genocide.
