We are LIVE tweeting the discussion – Reset and Restart: She Leads a Green World with Minouche Shafik, Geraldine Ang, @sarpanchbhakti, @odelphine, @katehamptongray. Participate with #Raisina2021 #RaisinaDialogue

.@katehamptongray: #GreenRecovery & #GenderEquality has major intersections. Focusing on gender and climate will deliver a labour-intensive recovery with massive multiplier effects and the chance to achieve rapid growth while reducing inter-generational poverty. #SheLeads

.@katehamptongray: Environmental damage & women’s unpaid work are often ignored by orthodox economics and are only seen as externalities. Consequently, these issues are often held in silos. We aim to bring them to the centre of the conversation. #Raisina2021

India Farmers Protests Goes Vogue.

Celebrities, influencers – & British Vogue - suddenly interested in #FarmersProtests that began in Nov. Despite MASSIVE resistance, the protests have been largely ignored by Western influencers/NGOs, etc. So why now? Let's explore.

Twitter (tool of empire) promoted the #celebrity endorsement of Rihanna/Greta accounts – while it simultaneously banned/censored on the ground Indian farmers/activists. While highlighting Western #influencers, Twitter had deleted approx. 250 protest/alt media accounts in #India.

Rihanna/Thunberg accounts share CNN article which references Access Now, "an advocacy group which tracks internet freedom." In reality, Access began as an arm of Avaaz (Purpose), to destabilize #Iran. Another instrument of #empire.

More on Access Now:

Like all complex organisms, a #LargeSystem must stay focused on its #purpose, honor its #OrganizingPrinciples, and question and modify its #rules and #boundaries if it is to successfully #adapt to perturbations in its internal / external #environment or risk losing its #identity.

If a #LargeSystem fails to #adapt, more #agents in the system experience unmet needs / wants. Eventually, affected agents will challenge those with rule and boundary setting authority to align the system to its purpose and principles and modify the system’s rules and boundaries.

Change occurs in a #LargeSystem when #agents modify its #rules and #boundaries to maintain #integrity with its original #purpose and #OrganizingPrinciples. If agents adopt another purpose and / or organizing principles, the original system loses its integrity and ceases to exist.

Yesterday I sat in on an excellent (booked out) #economics webinar with expert input from Dr Carolina Alves, Prof Stephen Kinsella and Dr. Catriona Cahill examining the impact of #COVID19 on UK and IRE.

Here are my notes!

Short sharp shocks: It's important to separate the 'scenarios' from the 'forecasts'. The first is narrative-based! We are assuming a short, sharp shock. Short - (a quarter); sharp (as seen in unemployment figures); and a shock - this wasn't predicted.

One key differentiator in this crisis is that there is no one entity to blame. Not bad banks, or bondholders. We really are all in this together.
