Degrowth in high-income economies cannot be achieved without industrial policy. And green industrial policy cannot achieve its objectives without degrowth.
The two need each other. The paper synthesises key insights into an industrial policy framework that can actually work.

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

This fascinating new research overturns longstanding assumptions. It finds that lower-income groups are more concerned about the environment and prefer environmental protection over economic growth, compared to higher-income groups. Data from the USA.

His monkey-with-a-hand-grenade approach to international relations may prove yet to be his undoing. Here's hoping.
Smarter, more strategic fascists would’ve stood aside as Canada elected a sympathetic leader, then tried a North American version of Hitler-Austria or Putin-Belarus. But no, it just had to be about him.

South-South coordination is more crucial now than ever.
Trump is using tariffs to force global South governments to accept US demands (to cut their export prices, abolish their industrial policy frameworks, devalue their currencies, and accept reduced US payments on bonds). This will be devastating
