Universal Basic Income: Making Omelette Without Breaking Egg? Prabhat Patnaik | 05 Aug 2023 (https://www.newsclick.in/universal-basic-income-cooking-omelette-without-breaking-egg
noted economist Prabhat Patnaik: If UBI is interpreted merely as a set of cash transfers, whether uniform or graded across individuals, then it does not necessarily achieve a real UBI, which is the objective behind instituting it.
a right to UBI, in real terms, cannot possibly mean anything other than a set of specific constituent individual rights, such as a right to health, a right to education, and such other rights.
instituting they five universal rights . the right to food, the right to employment, the right to free quality healthcare through a National Health Service, the right to free quality education and the right to a universaold-age pension and disability benefits, would cost, in addition to what is already spent from the budget on these items, an additional 10% of GDP. ..To raise the government should be willing to tax the rich. This is virtually beyond the capacity of the bourgeois system, and hence beyond the conception of liberal economists.

Swami Ved Atmavesh said that it was shameful that top leaders including the President were not making any statements. "Even the opposition has no dam (punch). The government should focus on giving roti, kapda makaan to people instead of doing this,
A Salute to Achyut Yagnik, the One-Man Storehouse of Knowledge on Gujarat https://thewire.in/society/a-salute-to-achyut-yagnik-the-one-man-storehouse-of-knowledge-on-gujarat
He was always “Achyut Bhai”, always available for a spot of conversation, or a dialogue if you preferred, or a declamation if you had the discipline of patience. Either way, it was always a rewarding encounter.
(SETU – Centre for Social Knowledge and Action) resembled an ashram in its bare austerity but suggested the ambience of a coffee house, where over many cups of syrupy tea – and the smoke of his never-extinguished cigarette – the visiting interlocutor could get tutored into the nuances of the latest developments, be it the Navnirman Movement, the anti-reservations riots of 1981, the 1985-86 communal flare-up, the anti-Narmada dam movement, the 1990-92 Ayodhya violence, or the horrible, horrible 2002 carnage.
Achyut Bhai himself personified the very idea of a robust civil society – keeping a firm distance from the wielders of power in Gandhinagar yet willing to engage with “authority” on behalf of the poor and the underprivileged. He was available to any NGO, any movement, any group wanting to correct this or that economic injustice in any part of Gujarat
‘De-dollarisation’ pact with UAE, a good step https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/editorial/de-dollarisation-pact-with-uae-a-good-step/article67102013.ece
July 20, 2023 The UAE is India’s major trading partner and home to a large India Diaspora
The Russia-Ukraine war and the resulting disruption in international trade settlement seem to have prodded the Centre to reduce dependence on the US dollar and establish alternative channels for current and capital account settlement....The recent agreements signed with UAE to establish a framework for settlement of cross-border transactions in local currencies and to inter-link the payment and messaging systems of the two countries, are especially significant given the prominence of UAE in India’s trade and capital flows.
De-dollarisation: shifting power between the US and BRICS https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/de-dollarisation-shifting-power-between-us-brics MICHAEL ROACH
Will a new global reserve currency threaten the greenback’s supremacy? The short answer is yes.
During the 2022 BRICS summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the bloc was working to create an “international reserve currency”... It is speculated that the BRICS currency will be backed by gold...Indeed, central banks are already stockpiling gold reserves. According to the IMF World Gold Council, the first two months of this year saw the largest purchases of gold from Singapore (51.4 tonnes), Türkiye (45.5 tonnes), China (39.8 tonnes), Russia (31.1 tonnes) and India (2.8 tonnes).. BRICS nations now account for more than 40 per cent of the world’s population and have an aggregated global GDP of 31.5 per cent. This surpasses the G7’s (United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom) GDP of 30.7 per cent.
..Despite China–India relations alternating between détente and antagonism, both countries seem willing to cooperate to some extent, with India participating and investing in the BRI on a proxy basis through the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, New Development Bank and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation..
Will & should India support China & Russia’s De-dollarisation move :A Focus on India’s Dilemma
May 7, 2023 https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/truth-lies-and-politics/will-should-india-support-china-russias-de-dollarisation-move-a-focus-on-indias-dilemma/
Will India accept new BRICS currency, if floated & also, will India want to be economically aligned with China with whom it is having a standoff at the border?
The US considers India a valuable ally and strategic partner in the Indo-Pacific region. The Indian government considers Russia and China’s efforts to reduce dollar usage, more ideological than practical, and does not explicitly support the mobilisation by BRICS to challenge dollar’s hegemony. Recent military standoffs between India and China may also prevent India from supporting China’s plan to dethrone the dollar.

How Much Should We Trust the Dictator’s GDP Estimates? https://ostromworkshop.indiana.edu/pdf/piep2018/martinez-paper.pdf The findings in this paper are a warning sign for academics, policy-makers and other agents that make regular use of official economic statistics from weak and non-democracies.
The increased manipulation of GDP figures that I uncover in weak and non-democracies is not easily anticipated or corrected. The autocracy gradient in the night-lights elasticity of GDP is not explained by variation in publicly- vailable measures of corruption and does not disappear as GDP data gets revised over time
Can China still become the world’s largest economy? | Business Beyond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maH4gy3tpiIcJan 18, 2023 #china #boom #economy
China managed the fastest sustained growth of any major economy ever recorded - catapulting it to second place behind the United States.
But today, its GDP growth is at near-historic lows. For the first time in two decades, its output fell behind that of the rest of Asia. Analysts believe that even the end of Zero Covid won’t signal the revival of Chinese economic growth as we know it.
In this video, we look at the economic headwinds the country is facing - and what they mean for Beijing’s race to becoming the world’s biggest economy.
