We will continue to grapple with the defining challenge of our time: how to create solid and sustained economic growth and continue to meaningfully put a dent in poverty across the world. In essence, how do we restore robust growth in the Eurozone, the United States, and around the industrialized economies creaking under mounting debt, challenging demographics, and stagnating productivity; and how do we boost growth in the developing world - home to 90% of the world’s population and where, on average, 70% of the population is less than 25 years old - as a period of unprecedented economic expansion begins to slow in some places and regress in others? Against this backdrop, the efficacy of democracy and market capitalism will continue to be challenged. Moreover, the temptation of policy makers to pivot to inferior models of economics and politics (including state-led capitalism, trade protectionism and reduced cross- border capital flows, de-prioritizing liberal democracy) will continue to Dr Dambisa Moyo is an international economist and author of mount.

  • Her Money, My Sweat: Women Organizing to Transform Globalization
    HER MONEY, MY SWEAT: WOMEN ORGANIZING TO TRANSFORM GLOBALIZATION Submitted to the School of Interdisciplinary Studies (Western College Program) in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy Interdisciplinary Studies by Emily Bates Brown Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2007 APPROVED __________________________________________________ Yulonda E. Sano, Advisor ABSTRACT HER MONEY, MY SWEAT: WOMEN ORGANIZING TO TRANSFORM GLOBALIZATION Emily Bates Brown Women who live in Third World nations are disproportionately negatively affected by globalization. Moreover, theorizations of Third World women’s economic hardships are often characterized in terms of their victimization and helplessness even within Western feminist literature. Such characterizations have been intensely criticized in the last two decades by Third World and postcolonial feminist theorists who have effectively exposed the dangers of representing Third World women as a homogenized group. Western feminist discourse on gender, globalization, and Third World cultures has since made inroads toward addressing the specificity of identity issues such as race, class, and nationality, and in bridging the gap between the objectives of Western and non-Western women’s groups. Within discussions of the inequities of globalization and in efforts to organize women around globalization issues, negotiating similar identity issues and goals is a constant challenge. With an emphasis on the intersection of theory and practice, this thesis argues that for transnational feminist networks to organize constructively on globalization issues in the Third World, the agency and experience of local actors must be regarded as a primary source of legitimate knowledge. Only in this way will transnational feminist networks, which operate across both geographical and intangible borders, be successful in empowering local actors and in producing more viable, counter-hegemonic economic opportunities than currently exist under processes of globalization.

At the same time, we, the members of the Henry Jackson Initiative for Inclusive Capitalism task force—a trans-Atlantic and non-partisan private-sector group of business, policy and academic practitioners—recognize that the recent crisis has highlighted a number of weaknesses in the system. Accordingly, we set out the case for capitalism, identify three areas in which progress needs to be made to improve it, and identify a number of companies already working in these areas to improve the functioning of our system.

  • FINANCIAL STABILITY REPORT PRESS CONFERENCE TUESDAY 28 JUNE 2017 Mike Peacock
    FINANCIAL STABILITY REPORT PRESS CONFERENCE TUESDAY 28 JUNE 2017 Mike Peacock: Okay, if you could give us your name and organisation, wait for a mic and one question first time round please, we’ll loop back round if we have time at the end. Kamal and then Adam, please. Kamal Ahmed, BBC: Thank you. Governor, there was a warning today to the banks about consumer borrowing and the growth in consumer borrowing, but of course, the loans market takes two to tango, so to speak. I just wondered how concerned you are that consumers are borrowing too much and that if these benign conditions on interest rates, for example, don’t last and interest rates rise, that millions of people could find themselves in difficulty and overextended. Mark Carney: Well, I think in terms of messages to consumers, the first is one that’s that same message whether times are good or bad or somewhere in between, which is that whenever somebody takes out a mortgage or a loan for a new business, or an investment, that they consider adverse scenarios as well as positive scenarios. As you’ve just said, whether interest rates can go up as well as stay the same, whether exchange rates could move, and whether the overall pace of growth could change as well. The track record of the British people, the British borrowers, suggests that they do take those factors, by and large, into account. Certainly, in an environment in which we’re operating, it is that general advice, that stating the obvious, which is often the advice you get from a central banker, is particularly apt.

  • The Lonely Century
    The Lonely Century Ross Welcome to Renegade Inc. The pandemic has physically isolated everyone. But another epidemic has been with us for longer than this virus. The loneliness epidemic is a silent killer that breeds in large groups of people. Toxic social media, polarised politics and decades of neoliberal economics, have pushed communities to breaking point. The question now, how do we avert the lonely century? Ross Noreena, welcome to Renegade Inc., in partnership with KAKAnomics, our wonderful Norwegian friends - a Nordic meeting place, as it's called. So what we're trying to do is attract thinkers, writers, authors to come and talk about what they have discovered. You've written The Lonely Century, a wonderful book. What did you discover about the Nordics or Europe that shocked you or surprised you when you were writing the book? Noreena Hertz Well, in my research, what I discovered was that loneliness really is a global phenomenon affecting all of us. And even though, of course, there is a crisis of elderly loneliness in the United Kingdom - two in five pensioners - their main form of company is their television or pet. So even though loneliness is an issue amongst the old, it's actually amongst the young who are the loneliest. And that was one of the aha moments that got me thinking about this whole subject because I was teaching at university and I realised that students were coming to me and in office hours they were confiding in me how lonely and isolated they felt. And this was a new phenomenon.

  • Debt and Deception: Review Essay on John Perkins, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (San
    Debt and Deception: Review Essay on John Perkins, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler, 2004) and Noreena Hertz, The Debt Threat: How Debt is Destroying the Developed World . and Threatening Us All (New York: HarperCollins 2004) for Business Ethics Quarterly These are two interesting, controversial, complementary books. The authors are of different generations. John Perkins is sixty (2005). He was a college student during the Vietnam War who came to oppose the war, then joined the Peace Corp to avoid the draft. Noreena Hertz is thirty-six. She is an academic/activist, a professor of political economy who was tear-gassed at the massive Global Justice protest in Genoa (2001) at which hundreds were beaten by the Italian police and one protestor killed. Their backgrounds are different. Perkins is an American who grew up in rural New Hampshire and attended the Tilton School, a prep school at which both his parents taught. Finding himself between two worlds, the "townies" with whom he had attended grade school and the children of affluence who were his high school cohorts, he compensated (he tells us) by excelling at everything: athletics, academics, school politics. He was offered an athletic scholar to Brown and an academic scholarship to Middlebury College. At his parent's insistence, he chose the latter--then rebelled, dropped out, moved to Boston. He eventually got an undergraduate degree from Boston University. Hertz is British, the daughter of fashion designer and feminist activist Leah Hertz. (Hertz describes her mother as "a cross between Mother Theresa, Superwoman and Cher."1) She was precocious--school at three, A levels at sixteen, a graduate of University College London at nineteen.

    Masters of Scale: Rapid Response Transcript – Noreena Hertz Click here to listen to the full Masters of Scale: Rapid Response episode with Noreena Hertz. NOREENA HERTZ: This is the loneliest century that we have known so far. There is a ​ thinking error that this is the new normal. That this way that we've been forced to reconfigure how we interact, moving from face-to-face in-person contact to virtual contact is not only a function of the times, but is the way that things will be. I actually don't believe that to be the case. We are creatures of togetherness. We are hardwired to connect. Business leaders should be mindful of their response. Lonely workers are less motivated, less efficient and less productive than workers who are not. They're more likely to quit the company that they're working from. The challenge moving forward for business leaders, but also the opportunity, is how do we really create a sense of togetherness amongst our workforce? Everything's at stake, and everything's to play for. We can create a better world moving forward, a world in which capitalism is reconnected with care and compassion and community, a world in which we do recognize that there are times that we have to suborn our own self-interest to the collective good. We can use this moment as an opportunity, not just to rebuild, but to build better. As long as the will is there individually and collectively. Ultimately the future is in all of our hands. BOB SAIFNA: That’s Noreena Hertz, professor at the Institute for Global Prosperity at ​ University College London.

  • November IR Transcript
    Bank of England Inflation Report Q&A 3 November 2016 Page 2 Inflation Report Q&A - 3.11.16 Noreena Hertz, ITV News: Governor, in the Report it makes clear that you expect prices for fuel, food and clothing to go up significantly, mainly due to the exchange rate and the import effect. For how long do you feel that the British public should tolerate these rising prices before you act, and by act I'm really saying - before you increase interest rates? Mark Carney: Well, the judgement of the MPC has been that the degree of accommodation that is currently being provided is appropriate. It's appropriate because of the pressures that are weighing down on activity and it's appropriate because of the forces that are causing inflation to rise and rise above that 2% target. The reason that inflation is above target - or will be above target, in our judgement at years two and three, is because of the exchange rate. The reason the exchange rate has moved - the predominant reason why the exchange rate has moved, in our judgement - is judgements that have been made in financial markets about the future of the real economy, not of the stance of monetary policy - how open this economy will be, what our trading relationships will be, how productivity will evolve over the next few years. We can't influence those perceptions in markets again, I'll emphasise they're perceptions in markets. It's still early days in this process. The negotiations haven't even yet begun, so we don't know exactly what the arrangements are going to be, nor do markets - they're making a judgement around them.

  • THE SILENT TAKEOVER Global Capitalism and the Death of Democracy
    A 345238 THE SILENT TAKEOVER Global Capitalism and the Death of Democracy NOREENA HERTZ WILLIAM HEINEMANN : LONDON NOTES Chapter 1 1. Of particular note is the fact that the World Bank's World Development Report 2000 acknowledged that inequality was bad for growth, economic growth does not automatically reduce poverty, and that poverty is not simply an economic problem but also a political one. 2. Interestingly, the Death Row campaign badly misfired. After victims' rights groups picketed a Texas Sean store in February 2000, Sears, the second largest retailer in the US, dropped its contract with Benetton for a private label line. The line had been expected to generate some $100 million in sales in its first year. Olivero Toscani, Benetton's longtime creative director, was another casualty of the campaign. A joint statement with Benetton owner Luciano Benetton implied he left to 'take on new projects'. 3. According to the World Bank's 1999 World Development Indicators, there were 654 television sets per 1000 people in highly developed countries. In the USA this is as high as 847 per 1000. 4.
