Significant parts of this paper are drawn from joint work with James Burke of Mt. Holyoke College. I thank him for his important contributions.

The Political Economy Research Institute provided research support. All errors are mine, of course. I. Introduction There is no longer much doubt that globalization and global integration are having significant impacts on the trajectories of many economies around the world. But there is still little agreement about what that impact is. Several years ago, I and my co-authors identified a number of possible trajectories found in the debate, and most of these possibilities still seem relevant today (Crotty, Epstein, Kelly, 1998).1 The first is "The Race to the Bottom". (Bluestone and Harrison, 1982; Greider, 1997). According to this view, capital will increasingly be able to play workers, communities and nations off against one another as they demand tax, regulation and wage concessions while threatening to move. According to this view, increased mobility of multinational corporations (MNC's) benefits capital while workers and communities lose. A modified version is that the winners in the race to the bottom will include highly educated (or skilled) workers, or workers in particular MNC rent appropriating professions (e.g.

  • Global Inequality in a Time of Pandemic Jayati Ghosh [Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India]
    real-world economics review, issue no. 92 subscribe for free Global inequality in a time of pandemic Jayati Ghosh [Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India] Copyright: Jayati Ghosh, 2020 You may post comments on this paper at https://rwer.wordpress.com/comments-on-rwer-issue-no-92/ A global pandemic is a particularly bad time to be reminded of existing inequalities. But there is no doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the extent of inequalities between and within countries. Whatever may be the fond sentiments expressed by at least some global leaders, we are clearly not “all in this together”. It is true that in principle, a virus is no respecter of class or other socio-economic distinctions: it enters human hosts without checking for such attributes. And the rapid global spread of this particular virus has shown that it is no respecter of national borders either, which points to the more fundamental truth that as long as anyone anywhere has a contagious disease, everyone everywhere is under threat. This should have made it obvious that ensuring universal access to health care and prevention is not about compassion, but about the survival of all. Unfortunately, that obvious truth is still not adequately recognised, mainly because existing structures of authority and power imbalances ensure that the rich and powerful continue to be more protected from both health risks and material privation. Diseases tend to strike people differently depending not just on the strength of public health systems, but on existing fissures in society: of class, race and ethnicity, gender, caste and other divisions.

  • Gendered Labour Markets and Capitalist Accumulation
    For Japanese Political Economy Gendered labour markets and capitalist accumulation Jayati Ghosh Abstract Gender relations affect economic processes, especially macroeconomic patterns and accumulation trajectories, so capitalism relies on gender construction of societies to further its expansion. For example, changes in women’s involvement in paid and unpaid work impacts the extent to which the unpaid care economy subsidises the formal economy. Failure to recognise this leads to misleading estimates of aggregate labour productivity and its change over time. Similarly, ignoring the gender distribution of cross- border migration can lead to wrong expectations about the patterns of remittance flows during business cycles in the receiving country. Keywords Gender, development, women’s work, migration Article Economics as a discipline has been remarkably resistant to incorporating gender perspectives. This has been most evidently so in mainstream economic analysis, in which consumers and producers are treated as homogenous or identical entities with preferences and behavioural tendencies that fit into the identikit standard of the utility maximising individual. But it has also permeated many heterodox approaches, which operate on the basis of classification into groups like classes but still ignore the effects of gender differentiation within these classes or groups and their economic impacts. This has affected the understanding of macroeconomic processes, which are generally seen to operate at a “supra-gender” level. This is unfortunate because gender has been a crucial element in determining how many economic processes play out in particular capitalist contexts, and in creating the basis for particular trajectories of accumulation. In this article I will consider two ways in which different social constructions of gender relations affect macro-economic processes in particular: the nature of labour supply and changing work force participation; and the implications of gendered migration patterns.
