NCERT removed the French Revolution from the syllabus, so the French decided to bring it back into current affairs.

Is it Delhi police’s job to do this? Why are they acting as political workers of the BJP?
How do they know permission won’t be granted for October 10 protests?

Security forces, the political ineptness of this govt.

La muerte de Anwar Shaikh supone el adiós del principal economista marxista contemporáneo. Su obra de décadas quedó cristalizada en Capitalism: Competition, Conflict, Crises (2016), que explica con detalle cómo funciona el sistema a través de la “turbulenta competencia real”. Yo destacaría también dos trabajos menos conocidos:
1) Su crítica de la función de producción agregada neoclásica en los setenta, que obligó a Robert Solow a contestar. Shaikh demostró que el buen ajuste econométrico de esas funciones no prueba nada y que es un resultado de una identidad contable. Lo ilustró con datos inventados que dibujaban la palabra HUMBUG (patraña). Es un argumento central, aunque técnico. Pese a ello, los neoclásicos (y buena parte de los economistas) siguen usando esos métodos. Recientemente Jesús Felipe y yo hemos extendido esta crítica a la economía ecológica.
2) Su aportación sobre el comercio exterior y la balanza de pagos. Shaikh sostuvo que el comercio internacional se rige por la ventaja absoluta (Smith) y no por la comparativa (Ricardo) y que los capitales compiten por costes también entre países, con los de menor coste acumulando superávits mientras los demás financian déficits persistentes con deuda. Así obtenía un intercambio desigual sin recurrir, como Emmanuel, a diferencias salariales dadas de antemano. Sus trabajos con @IsabellaMWeber sobre el desequilibrio comercial entre EE. UU. y China son fundamentales para entender la actualidad económica.
En fin, una pérdida inmensa para la economía, para el marxismo y para la clase trabajadora. Que descanse en paz.

Sad news.
Today, we lost one of the greatest thinkers of political economy. Rest in peace Anwar Shaikh.

"El verdadero fascismo no lleva camisas negras, vende progreso.
La sociedad de consumo logró lo que el fascismo no pudo hacer: borrar culturas, uniformar vidas y destruir Italia sin que nadie se diera cuenta.
El fascismo no fue derrotado, fue reemplazado."

Investigation of the year by @RitikaChopra__. We now know that the disquiet over SIR wasn’t just an Opposition concern. Election Commissioners themselves objected to some of its most alarming decisions, at one point calling it “harassment of young voters”
Gyanesh Kumar chose to sideline those objections — one of the reports in the series looks at new addition to Form 6 that required new voters to provide details of whether their parents appeared on electoral rolls from the previous SIR. This single change wreaked havoc on the ground. So many people forced to queue up and produce documents to prove their link to decades-old voter lists. It now turns out there were objections to this requirement from within the EC itself calling it illegal.
