    1 ED MILIBAND THE ANDREW MARR SHOW 28TH JUNE 2020 ED MILIBAND MP Shadow Business Secretary (Rough transcript, check against delivery) AM: Welcome Mr Miliband. Was it right that Rebecca Long-Bailey was sacked? EM: It was. It’s important to explain why, because Rebecca is a very decent person, but the reason why there was a problem – the Maxine Peake interview, so the original interview Rebecca then tweeted, is not that it had a criticism of the state of Israel. I’m a big critic of what the Israeli government has done on a number of occasions. Instead it was a false criticism of the state of Israel linked – or rather, the Israeli Defence Force – linked to the death of George Floyd, wrongly, saying that somehow the tactics that killed George Floyd had been learnt from the Israelis. Let me explain why this is an important point. And the problem is that over the centuries when calamitous things have happened Jews have been blamed. And that’s why there was an anti-Semitism issue in that – in relation to this. And that’s why I believe Keir took the right decision. AM: Do you think that Rebecca Long-Bailey understood that? Do you think that she is anti-Semitic? EM: No, I don’t think she is anti-Semitic. I think she made a significant error of judgement. I know Rebecca well. I think she’s a decent person. But let me tell you what this underlines. This underlines the fact that Keir recognises the gravity of the hurt that has been caused to the Jewish community over the last few years by our failure to deal properly with issues of anti-Semitism.

  • From Scattered Data to Ideological Education: Economics, Statistics and the State in Ghana, 1948-1966
    The London School of Economics and Political Science From Scattered Data to Ideological Education: Economics, Statistics and the State in Ghana, 1948-1966 Gerardo Serra A thesis submitted to the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. London, January 2015. Declaration I, Gerardo Serra, certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis, including footnotes but excluding references, consists of 97,090 words. 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the contribution of economics and statistics in the transformation of Ghana from colonial dependency to socialist one-party state. The narrative begins in 1948, extending through the years of decolonization, and ends in 1966, when the first postcolonial government led by Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown by a military coup d’état. Drawing on insights from political economy, the history of economics and the sociology of science, the study is constructed as a series of microhistories of public institutions, social scientists, statistical enquiries and development plans.

Skidelsky, ‘Introduction’, John Maynard Keynes, Vol. 3: Fighting for Britain 1937–1946 (Macmillan Papermac, 2000), p. xxii. 1 The Caribbean in Turmoil: Prologue to a Biography 1. Lewis Archive, Princeton, Box 1/10; ‘Autobiographical Account’ by Sir Arthur Lewis, prepared for Nobel Prize Committee, December 1979, p. 4. 2. Lewis (1939), p. 5. In the 1920s, the white population in St Lucia and on average across the islands, was relatively low, at about 3 per cent of the population. The proportion was higher than this on islands completely dominated by sugar cultivation, such as Barbados. 3. Lewis (1939), p. 7. On the significance of colour gradations in the social and power structures of the West Indies, see ‘The Light and the Dark’, ch.4 in James (1963) and Tignor (2005) notes: ‘In place of the rigid two-tiered racial system, there had appeared a coloured middle class … usually light skinned, well educated, professional and urban … To this generation, Lewis … belonged’ (p.11). 4. Lewis (1939), p. 5. 5. Lewis (1939), p. 9. 6. The total value of exports from St Lucia fell from £421,000 (£8.10 per cap- ita) to £207,000 (£3.91) between 1920 and 1925, and to £143,000 (£2.65) by 1930 (Armitage-Smith, 1931, p. 62). 7. These data derive from Sir Sydney Armitage-Smith’s financial mission to the Leeward Islands and St Lucia in the depths of the depression in 1931 – undertaken while Lewis was serving time in the Agricultural Department office waiting to sit his scholarship exam.

  • Pieter Van Der Houwen African Tabloid
    PIETER VAN DER HOUWEN AFRICAN TABLOID Europe 9,90 Euro | South Africa 150 Rand | UK 7,50 Pound | US 10,95 Dollar | China 70 Yuan AFRICAN TABLOID In 2012, I travelled to Guangzhou to research a documentary about the vibrant African community in this massive Chinese city. At any given moment there are upward of 250 000 Africans in Guangzhou, who spend $40 million a day on average. The intense interaction between the Africans and the Chinese was remar- kable; language barriers were overcome and business flourished. In this economic frenzy, it soon dawned on me that the Chinese and the Africans have something in common: they both have no sense of entitlement. They can never look towards a government for assistance or support – a trait not shared with Europeans, who (some might argue) have an over-developed sense of entitlement. I felt as if I were witnessing a global shift announcing a new social and economic order. This revelation led me to expand this pro- ject, documenting various migrant communities on four continents, which resulted in this publication. African Tabloid celebrates the adaptability and resilience of migrants. It is a testament to a new and inexorable process heralding a changing world – a world that Europe seems to have difficulty coming to terms with, as it is still preoccupied with its commanding past, but sadly has no idea of the shape of its immediate future.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Red Star State: State-Capitalism, Socialism, and Black Internationalism in Ghana, 1957-1966 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Kwadwo Osei-Opare © Copyright by Kwadwo Osei-Opare The Red Star State: State-Capitalism, Socialism, and Black Internationalism in Ghana, 1957-1966 by Kwadwo Osei-Opare Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Andrew Apter, Chair The Red Star State charts a new history of global capitalism and socialism in relation to Ghana and Ghana’s first postcolonial leader, Kwame Nkrumah. By tracing how Soviet connections shaped Ghana’s post-colonial economic ideologies, its Pan-African program, and its modalities of citizenship, this dissertation contradicts literature that portrays African leaders as misguided political-economic theorists, ideologically inconsistent, or ignorant Marxist-Leninists. Rather, I argue that Nkrumah and Ghana’s postcolonial government actively formed new political economic ideologies by drawing from Lenin’s state-capitalist framework and the Soviet Economic Policy (NEP) to reconcile capitalist policies under a decolonial socialist umbrella. Moreover, I investigate how ordinary Africans—the working poor, party members, local and cabinet-level government officials, economic planners, and the informal sector—grappled with ii and reshaped the state’s role and duty to its citizens, conceptions of race, Ghana’s place within the Cold War, state-capitalism, and the functions of state-corporations. Consequently, The Red Star State attends both to the intricacies of local politics while tracing how global ideas and conceptions of socialism, citizenship, governmentality, capitalism, and decolonization impacted the first independent sub-Saharan African state.
