Capitalism After the Pandemic

BY: Mariana Mazzucato PEJOURNAL - After the 2008 financial crisis which was a challenge to Capitalism, governments across the world injected over $3 trillion into the financial system. The goal was to unfreeze credit markets and get the global economy working again. But instead of supporting the real economy—the part that involves the production of actual goods and services—the bulk of the aid ended up in the financial sector. Governments bailed out the big investment banks that had directly contributed to the crisis, and when the economy got going again, it was those companies that reaped the rewards of the…

Income Inequality and its Associated Negative Outcomes in the USA

BY: Andrew Rupp PEJOURNAL - Since the 1970’s, most member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have shown rising levels of income inequality (d’Agostino et al., 2020). In the USA the existence of income inequality is widely known, yet many remain unaware of the current, colossal levels of inequality (Norton and Ariely, 2011). Indeed, as recent as 2016, the combined global wealth of 99% of the world’s population was still less than that owned by the richest 1% (Oxfam International, 2017). In America in 2016, the wealthiest 10% owned nearly 80% of the nation’s wealth while…

Riots in Iraq and Lebanon as the main regional allies of Iran, new government in Iraq, Beirut suspicious blast, death…

Who will win the United States election?

BY: Valeria Rodriguez PEJOURNAL - On November 3, the presidential elections will be held in the United States and despite the fact that the polls indicate that the Democratic candidate is ahead, nothing has yet been given. So far, most polls put Democratic candidate Joe Biden at the head of the preferences over Republican candidate Donald Trump, who in his first virtual fundraiser for his re-election raised $ 20 million and admitted that he will invest from his own fortune in his re-election. Let's remember that in 2016, Trump invested 60 million of his assets to win the elections. Although…

The next subprime crisis could be in food

BY: Rana Foroohar PEJOURNAL - Of all the many problems caused by Covid-19, three of the most visible have been food insecurity, the demise of small businesses and asset market volatility. All of those things might be poised to get worse, thanks to an unexpected but important financial shift. Big banks, including ABN Amro, ING and BNP Paribas, are either pulling out of commodity trade financing or scaling it back. This will leave a funding hole for some farmers, agricultural producers and distributors, as well as grocery chains and other small and medium-sized companies that represent crucial parts of the…

Washington and Trump keep digging a hole for America

BY: Martin Love PEJOURNAL - Where the hell are the Skripals who allegedly were poisoned by Novichok? There have apparently been no reports of their whereabouts nor any interviews of them in the years since they allegedly were poisoned in Salisbury. Now we also have the Germans questioning whether to use the almost completed Nordstream 2 pipeline and Alexei Navalny, an insignificant agitator against Putin with almost nil support in Russia, is in Germany where Merkel is claiming he was indeed poisoned. What or who got under Merkel’s bonnet to result in what seems like a belated, false charge? If…

Irresponsibility and the Perils of Saudi Nuclear Program

PEJOURNAL - A former Iranian diplomat emphasized that Saudi Arabia despite its interventions and tension generation in its neighbouring countries, as well as disturbing the regional and international stability is not accountable. He said: If a country with this amount of direct political and military intervention one day gains more power and becomes nuclear, it will cause great tragedy that will destroy the region. Referring to Saudi foreign policy and its interference in the affairs of other Muslim countries, Ahmad Dastmalchian told the website of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations in an interview: “Saudi Arabia is an expansionist country…
