'Some in super yachts and most clinging to drifting debris' is not acceptable. We must end this obscene inequality and reboot the post covid world in a fundamentally different way! @Oxfam @AminaJMohammed @Winnie_Byanyima @Jayati1609 @arjun_jayadev https://twitter.com/OxfamIndia/status/1354288614369185795

Here's an important voice of reason from @pisaniferry especially directed to rich countries: think globally in your own self-interest. Fund Covax properly. And I would add, stop the vaccine grab, and suspend patents on Covid-19 vaccines and drugs! https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/manaus-virus-highlights-rich-countries-self-interest-by-jean-pisani-ferry-2021-01?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=organic-social&utm_campaign=page-posts-january21&utm_post-type=link&utm_format=16:9&utm_creative=link-image&utm_post-date=2021-01-26

How can @JoeBiden prevent a revival of Trumpism at home and restore the United States’ standing with its partners and allies? #BigPicture ft. @Jayati1609, @DrDaronAcemoglu, @Joe_Nye, and more. https://bit.ly/2NkH9C3

Oxford University was going to open source its vaccine, then the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation stepped in and convinced them to sell exclusive rights to AstraZeneca.
Now AstraZeneca is failing to deliver and poor countries are struggling to access vaccines.

There are really only two numbers to look out for in the forthcoming budget: how much did the government claim to have spent in 2020-21, and how much does it intend to spend in 2021-22. | @Jayati1609

"During the HIV pandemic, intellectual property rules [ resulted in millions of needless deaths. We must not let history repeat itself. Pharmaceutical companies are receiving substantial amounts of taxpayer funding. They must share intellectual property."
RT @deepakurup
Contrast with India, where the government (and many state govts) took the pandemic as a crisis that presents opportunity to:
1. allow longer working hours
2. suspend all labour laws(repealed only due to legal challenges)
3. no state support in the face of massive job losses https://twitter.com/telesurenglish/status/1352783110350331906

Many have neither the time nor energy to read @PikettyLeMonde's sprawling classic. This summary by @WaldenBello is motivated by the belief that his work cannot be left to specialists since his insights are useful in activist efforts to transform society. https://focusweb.org/publications/reading-piketty-i-a-concise-and-comprehensive-summary-of-capital-and-ideology/
