It is still in its early phase. But dynamics have been set in motion that are not easily stopped, or even slowed. If the virus effect were resolved by early summer—as some politicians wishfully believe—the economic dynamics set in motion would still continue.

Economists among them should know better but are among the most confused. They only need to look at historical parallels to convince themselves otherwise. 2020 Level: débutant Origins & Emergence of the 2020 Great Recession in the US Economy Dr. Jack Rasmus Exploring Economics The world is coping with a global disaster, as the new Coronavirus takes a toll on many lost lives and a severe impact on economic activity. To provide a long-run perspective, this column documents the international response to a variety of disasters since 1790. Based on a new comprehensive database on loans extended by governments and central banks, official (sovereign-to-sovereign) international lending is much larger than generally known. Official lending spikes in times of global turmoil, such as wars, financial crises or natural disasters. Indeed, in these periods, official capital flows have repeatedly surpassed total private capital flows in the past two centuries. Wars, in particular, were accompanied by large surges in the volume of official cross-border lending. 2020 Level: avancé Coping with disasters: Lessons from two centuries of international response Sebastian Horn, Carmen Reinhart, Christoph Trebesch VOX CEPR Policy Portal An essay of the writing workshop on Nigeria’s Readiness for and the Effect of the Fourth Industrial Revolution 2020 Level: avancé The Role of Women in the Fourth Industrial Revolution Peter Ogundairo Exploring Economics Pluriverse: A Post-Development Dictionary contains over one hundred essays on transformative initiatives and alternatives to the currently dominant processes of globalized development, including its structural roots in modernity, capitalism, state domination, and masculinist values. 2019 Level: débutant Pluriverse: A Post-Development Dictionary Ashish Kothari, Ariel Salleh, Arturo Escobar, Alberto Acosta, Federico Demaria Tulika Books and Authorsupfront It is fiercely debated when exactly the growth set off and what the drivers of Indian growth were. Scott Alexander summarises some of the recent literature on this question, demonstrating that not only the liberalisation policies of the 90s might be the driver of the take-off, but potentially public investments, political developments or cultural shifts. 2019 Level: débutant Indian Economic Reform: Much More Than You Wanted To Know Scott Alexander Slate Star Codex In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Bombay was beset by crises such as famine and plague. Yet, rather than halting the flow of capital, these crises served to secure it. In colonial Bombay, capitalists and governors, Indian and British alike, used moments of crisis to justify interventions that delimited the city as a distinct object and progressively excluded laborers and migrants from it. 2019 Level: avancé Making the Modern Slum Sheetal Chhabria University of Washington Press
