Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Although his promises of economic relief tapped into a real problem, Trump is offering the wrong solutions. The policies he supports will not meaningfully change the unpopular economic model that produced the wave of anger he rode to victory. Instead, his proposed tariffs are likely to increase the cost of living and deliver few benefits for the American working class. If his administration goes through with its plans to dramatically reduce the size of the public sector, the U.S. government will lose much of its ability to deliver on big projects for years to come. And his mercantilist policies could both incite economic instability abroad and shrink the United States’ capacity for economic leadership.</p><p>But the revival of American economic nationalism need not spell the end of a global pursuit of more inclusive, sustainable growth. Countries such as Brazil, South Africa, and the United Kingdom are already experimenting with ambitious economic agendas at home, and proposals abound to make multilateral institutions more equitable and effective. A retreating United States may not be in any position to lead this reform effort. Yet its absence will leave a space that other countries could fill. <br>(...)<br>There is no guarantee that the coming rebalancing of the global order will lead to a more equitable and sustainable future. To move toward an economic system with affordable access to finance, fair governance of global trade, and support for all countries to invest in and benefit from the growth of green industries, governments must be willing to take bold steps. They must learn the right lessons from Trump’s victory—that the current economic model is failing and that the incremental policies Biden and Harris offered would not have saved it. But neither will the protectionist agenda Trump has proposed."</p><p><a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/south-africa/broken-economic-order-mariana-mazzucato" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">foreignaffairs.com/south-afric</span><span class="invisible">a/broken-economic-order-mariana-mazzucato</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Protectionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Protectionism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tariffs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeWar</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Geopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geopolitics</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Economy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Economics</span></a></p>

Karthik Srinivasan<p>That’s the state of India, its food, agriculture and roughly 80% of its people (~1.1 billion).</p><p>Now back to the rice export ban from India with which we started. Why is this a big deal internationally? </p><p>India is THE largest exporter of rice and accounts for 40% of the total. These predominantly feed the poorest peoples in Africa (western and sub Saharan) and other parts of Asia. That’s feeding about another billion people. With the wheat market in deep trouble following Russia-Ukraine, the world was already straining (look at Egypt, Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa), now with the Indian rice ban, and Thailand and Vietnam (the next largest exporters) not being able to meet the world's demand to fill India's void, it can just tip over. Expect a lot of hunger and misery.</p><p>The great philosopher and one of the very few economists, and intellectuals of our times, Amartya Sen (who lived through the Bengal famine of 1943) wrote, “All famines are political… No famine has ever taken place in the history of the world in a functioning democracy.”</p><p>We might have to sadly upend that worldview (I hope I am horribly, completely wrong on this count!).</p><p>9/9</p><p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/RiceBan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RiceBan</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>India</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SouthAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthAsia</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SubContinent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SubContinent</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AgriculturalCrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgriculturalCrises</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inequality</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/EcologicalCrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcologicalCrises</span></a></p>
Karthik Srinivasan<p>What’s the principal outcome of all these agricultural policies?</p><p>Decimation of livelihood in the Indian countryside leading to the largest internal migration within any country in modern history (you can call it internal displacement, sub-national refugees, asylum seekers) from the rural to the urban. </p><p>And no, before you jump in, this urbanization is no sign of progress. No viable replacement for their livelihoods has been created. The manufacturing sector remains teetering, and the high tech service sector is saturated. The primary education system is criminally underfunded, opportunities to reskill hardly exist. Most important of all, even with skills and training, some of the highest levels of unemployment while we can boast of having the 5th largest economy. Meanwhile, the two richest Indian billionaires must have worked so hard that they now are combined wealthier than two of the relatively wealthy states (Punjab and Haryana). If there is anything that has a sensational growth that any economist can be proud of, it’s the rate of growth of inequality in India. </p><p>8/9</p><p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/RiceBan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RiceBan</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>India</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SouthAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthAsia</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SubContinent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SubContinent</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AgriculturalCrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgriculturalCrises</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inequality</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/EcologicalCrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcologicalCrises</span></a></p>
Karthik Srinivasan<p>Here’s a litany of the wonderful things that the Indian state has been responsible for, one way or another since we became “liberal” in 1991:</p><p>*Failures in proper grain storage, management, and distribution. In doublespeak, supply chain. So much so that large amounts of food grains (strategic reserves) are left to rot rather than feed the hungry and emaciated. India produces enough “essential food grains” to feed two Indias. At the height of COVID-19, the first and only priority was to make sanitizers out of rice rather than to feed the largest number of humans in the world who went hungry. The free food public distribution for 80% of the population came much later.</p><p>*Per capita consumption of essential food grains have plummeted. For a few years, they were as low as what it was in the Bengal Famine of 1943 (which killed 5 million people) under the British Raj! Starvation deaths for the first time in Independent and Democratic India. To this day, the per capita consumption is lower than what it was pre 1991. </p><p>*Failure to pay farmers "Minimum support prices" as recommended by the Swaminathan committee (this has been so since late 2000s). </p><p>*Predatory land grabbing by corporations (Indian and international), with the full support of the Indian state for “development”, hell-bent on extracting every bit of value that can be extracted from adivasi lands all the way to agricultural lands.</p><p>*Predatory consumption and resource extraction by the largest corporations within and from outside India while pacifying a tiny middle class in the megalopolises. While the wonderful malls, beauty products and luxury cars were parading these megacities; electrification, irrigation, and basic access to credit were delayed or denied to the people who produced their food. </p><p>*Subsidizing agribusiness and acquiescing to the WTO agreements. Somehow the poorest farmers and agricultural workers in the world must restructure themselves to be market viable, but the US (and EU) has every right to be protectionist and subsidize its agriculture to the tune of 65 billion$ annually. Even more perverse, for example, the subsidy offered year-on-year for sugar and cotton produced in the US is more than the total revenue they generate. Some efficient market viable agriculture.</p><p>*Letting market forces dictate, and forcing farmers from planting food crops to cash crops. <br>An example: Wayanad (literally means paddy country) in Kerala went from paddy farms to vanilla cultivation. Indian market for vanilla, near zero. When the global market found a better offer from Madagascar and Indonesia (not blaming them), the plantations collapsed. Many parts of Wayanad didn’t make it back to paddy.</p><p>*Forcing farmers in a vicious cycle of debt-despair-suicide. The less I say about this, the better for everyone, including my own sanity. </p><p>These are just the tip of the iceberg, the list goes on. </p><p>7/9</p><p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/RiceBan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RiceBan</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>India</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SouthAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthAsia</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SubContinent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SubContinent</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AgriculturalCrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgriculturalCrises</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inequality</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/EcologicalCrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcologicalCrises</span></a></p>
Karthik Srinivasan<p>However, let’s not give the Indian governments a free pass.There are many proximal causes for the decimation of the backbone of Indian society and livelihood, that is the Agricultural sector.</p><p>Those proximal causes should be squarely blamed on the state (not just the current dispensation). Several serious policy flaws, failures, and disastrous ideologies have been set in motion since 1991, when India “liberalized” and opened itself to the "free market" regime.

Karthik Srinivasan<p>Rice is not the only basic food commodity that is off the roofs. Wheat prices have soared too, and price controls were put in earlier. Most recently, a kilo of tomato costs as much as 200 Rupees now. Adjusted for currency exchange and purchasing power, that's like buying a kilo of tomato for more than 10$ in the US! How does that "cost of living crisis" sound?</p><p>India has forever been an "ecological basket case", heavily dependent on an almost clockwork arrival of the monsoons for its ecological and economic revival. The effect of erratic monsoons and intense heatwaves has forced very large areas of formerly arable land to waste. Top soil degradation is fully apace thanks to intense adoption of monocultures, use of fertilizers and herbicides etc.,</p><p>Global warming is the distal cause for which India will and should take no blame and must point the finger at the West. </p><p>5/9</p><p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/RiceBan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RiceBan</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>India</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SouthAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthAsia</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SubContinent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SubContinent</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AgriculturalCrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgriculturalCrises</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inequality</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/EcologicalCrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcologicalCrises</span></a></p>
