I like to think he was saying “folx”.

Great explainer and critique of the recent Nievas-Piketty “Unequal Exchange” paper, beyond the (admittedly good) memes that it spawned!.
I spoke with @adnanahusain about the new paper on Unequal Exchange by Nievas & Piketty. I lay out their contributions and explain why I think their theoretical & methodological frame leads them to a narrow (and distorted IMO) understanding of imperialism.

Punished for shipping food to an island with a food shortage. The blockade is a crime against humanity.
The @USTreasury fined a US logistics firm $600k because its Colombian subsidiary organized from Jan ’22-Jul ’23 33 shipments to #Cuba of food “not eligible to be licensed by OFAC” for $3 million, undermining the “objectives” of its Cuba sanctions program.

This woman, who has made a career out of advocating for the starvation of the Cuban people, was just elected as a commissioner to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Some reports claim that Rubio threatened to withhold aid from any country that opposed.
The Cuban regime is the Berlin Wall of our time. The West must join the U.S. in standing with the Cuban people and holding the regime accountable. To end the crisis in Cuba and the region, the dictators must go. Protests grow daily—Cubans are ready to.

For 60+ years, the US has deliberately starved the Cuban people in the hopes of instigating regime change. The blockade is one of the most inhumane, blatantly imperialistic, and criminal things the US has ever done. May it one day fall, and those responsible be held to account.
🚨 Today’s Cuba policy hits the regime where it hurts most: travel and dollars. We must cut off the regime’s oxygen. No more lifelines. No more cash flows. No more excuses.

"I eat chips, ribs, wings, tacos, sandwiches, lobster, and french fries with my hands but doing the same with rice is barbarism" — the dumbest people in the world.
Civilized people in America don’t eat like this. If you refuse to adopt Western customs, go back to the Third World.

The economics profession should consider itself lucky to have @IsabellaMWeber and her dedication to antifascist economics.
Zohranomics is an effective form of antifascist economic policy. The crisis of economic security that comes with basic questions of dignity & identity is being used by the far right. An agenda laser-focussed on the needs of ordinary people is the way out. @JohnCassidy @NewYorker
