Um vocabulário que não é neutro
Os termos usados para designar as diversas categorias de países reflectem divergências teóricas e políticas em matéria de análise e estratégia. Tais divergências dizem geralmente respeito aos conteúdos sociais dos conceitos económicos: as categorias económicas são frequentemente apresentadas como reflexo de leis naturais, nas quais as relações sociais e as relações de poder pouco têm a dizer. Assim, o conceito dominante de subdesenvolvimento designa um simples atraso, por (...)

Invité à l'Université de Gand en décembre 2019, un chirurgien plasticien, Jeff Hoeyberghs lors de son allocation affirme fièrement en réaction au mouvement #MeToo : « les femmes veulent bien les privilèges de la protection masculine et de l'argent. Mais elles ne veulent plus ouvrir leurs jambes. On ne peut pas traiter une femme d'égal à égal sans en devenir esclave. » Voilà le genre de propos réactionnaires qui au nom d'une soi-disant crise de la masculinité accompagne les mouvements féministes de tous (...)

Au-delà des solutions d'urgence visant à réactiver la pompe au financement de marché, la crise économique mondiale qui s'annonce offre l'occasion de remettre en question l'aliénation structurelle des États aux marchés financiers internationaux. Un détour par l'histoire enfouie de l'architecture économique internationale fait rejaillir les alternatives à un ordre financier mondial qui gouverne désormais certains États dominés à la façon d'entités commerciales banalisées.

In 2017, Yanis Varoufakis published “Adults in the room”, a thick volume that became a huge global success and was even turned into a film by Costas Gavras two years later. The author was one of the protagonists of the Greek events of that decade that culminated in the first seven months of the SYRIZA-ANEL government of 2015. He became an international celebrity, a veritable phenomenon of our age, and continues to be politically active internationally.
Despite its enormous success, his book (...)

Thanks to the Black Lives Matter mobilizations that have been taking place in 2020 on an international scale against racism in general, and negrophobia in particular, more and more people want to know the truth about the dark past of the colonial powers and its neo-colonial continuation today.

Les éditions Syllepse avaient programmé la sortie de l'ouvrage d'Éric Toussaint – « Capitulation entre adultes » – pour le mois de mars 2020. Depuis, nous avons connu le confinement, la fermeture des librairies, l'absence d'activités publiques militantes qui, bien souvent, sont autant d'occasions… d'acheter des livres.
Les notes qui suivent visent donc essentiellement à convaincre que ce livre constitue une contribution essentielle aux débats qui traversent la gauche et que, en conséquence, il est (...)

Enquanto os Estados Unidos são sacudidos por uma onda de protestos antirracistas ao longo das últimas duas semanas, uma série de dados econômicos mostra muito claramente a direção tomada pelas autoridades de Washington durante a crise social e econômica mais grave desde a década de 1930. É uma continuação das medidas tomadas nos últimos anos desde a crise de 2008 e não é de modo algum acompanhada de contrapartidas e avanços sociais indispensáveis para o bem-estar da população, como foi o caso no âmbito do (...)

Lamento, mas mais uma vez tenho de refutar o discurso dominante dos media, prontos a entregar a Bola de Ouro 2020 ao primeiro-ministro Conte pelo acordo assinado sobre o Fundo de Recuperação, após um renhido confronto de quatro dias no seio do Eurogrupo.
Arrisco-me assim a provocar alguma irritação entre aqueles que, de boa fé, há muito acarinharam a imagem de um país que está finalmente a erguer a cabeça e a melhorar a sua situação. Arrisco-me também a provocar acusações de trabalhar para o inimigo, (...)

Désolé une fois de plus de devoir réfuter le discours médiatique dominant, prêt à remettre le Ballon d'or 2020 au Premier ministre Conte pour l'accord signé sur le Fonds de relance, après une âpre confrontation de quatre jours au sein de l'Eurogroupe.
Je risque ainsi de provoquer une certaine irritation chez ceux qui, en toute bonne foi, caressent depuis longtemps l'image d'un pays qui relève enfin la tête et obtient des résultats pour améliorer leur condition. Et de susciter des accusations de travailler (...)

Avec la pandémie de Covid-19, les industries agroalimentaires et de la viande ont décroché le jackpot. Alors que les profits de la pandémie restent au sommet, c'est une véritable catastrophe qui ruisselle vers le bas. Les conséquences sont dévastatrices. Une nouvelle vague d'ajustements structurels est en cours qui va se concentrer sur l'accroissement des investissements étrangers dans l'agro-industrie et des exportations de produits agricoles.
