Social Progress Imperative Executive Director Michael Green walks us through the history of how the world came to rely so heavily on GDP despite its creator's early warning, and why we are ready for a measurement revolution to begin measuring what really matters.
Green showcases the tenuous relationship between economic development and social development punctuated by findings of the Social Progress Index 2014, and highlights how the global Index's framework is being used at a regional level in Brazil.

Over the last 25 years, capitalism has changed in a fundamental way. Capital has become more geographically mobile as companies seek locations with lower costs and business-friendly policies. This trend towards greater mobility of capital since 1970 has impacted nations and regions. The document also provides suggested reading on related topics such as feminism, alternative economic models, and democratic approaches to money and resources.

William Thompson Forum. 6.4.21. Finance in Ireland has a complicated relationship with the state. This talk examines the resulting inequalities and lack of social investment in communities across the country, and explores environmental and feminist economic strategies for a more progressive and democratic financial system.
Global Finance & Ireland: A Feminist Economics PerspectiveConor McCabe
油
This document outlines the structure of a work in two parts. Part One will examine the global financial system and Ireland, topics like global debt, institutions and power relations. Part Two will explore alternatives, including money and credit, investment, care and community, and the environment. It also quotes that slavery, colonialism and forced labor were integral to the development of capitalism, not aberrations. Suggested further reading on related topics is provided.
The document discusses that there are stages in a network-movement and that there is no single answer to what everyone must do within the movement. It suggests focusing on what inspires you and taking action in a way that fits within your abilities, circumstances and convictions.

This document outlines a roadmap for recovery in Ireland with 5 key areas: 1) Government measures like wage and income supports during lockdown and post-lockdown testing and tracing. 2) Strengthening workers' rights and protections such as for essential workers. 3) Support for households and businesses through measures like rent moratoriums and interest-free loans. 4) Prioritizing climate action through renewable energy and retrofitting. 5) Financial measures like increasing public borrowing for investment and a review of tax expenditures.
Ireland has a complex political and social history defined by class and gender divisions. In his lecture, Dr. Conor McCabe discusses how politics in Ireland have been shaped by conflicts between social classes and by patriarchal norms that disadvantaged women for much of the country's history. While progress has been made, the legacy of these divisions still influences Irish society today.
Trade unions must recognize the importance of social reproduction and feminist economics. Dr. Conor McCabe spoke at the Trade Union Left Forum about how social reproduction, such as childcare and housework, is essential to the economy but often unpaid or underpaid labor performed mostly by women. Unions need to address issues facing women like low wages, lack of benefits, and unequal division of domestic labor to build working class power and solidarity.

Irish Finance for Activists provides progressive and radical responses and strategies for finance in Ireland. It discusses that NAMA acquired approximately 16,000 properties and over 62 billion in debts from the top 190 debtors, who overborrowed in a Ponzi-like scheme that inflated asset values unsustainably. Brendan McDonagh, the CEO of NAMA, noted the disconnect between economic growth rates of 8-9% and bank lending growth of 35-40%, and that overpaying for assets caused the problems.
Lessons from the Financial Crisis - Spare Room, Cork, 29.9.19Conor McCabe
油
The chief executive of Irish Life and Permanent said the government guarantee would allow banks to borrow more cheaply, as the "oxygen supply" to Irish banks was being cut off. Brendan McDonagh, the CEO of NAMA, said the problems were caused by overpaying for assets, with a small number of debtors accounting for 62 billion in debts, resembling a "Ponzi scheme". The document discusses concepts of "mediated corruption", where gains from corruption may indirectly benefit those associated with the public official, rather than directly benefitting the official. It can involve undue influence on policymaking by vested interests at the expense of the public.
The document discusses the concept of social reproduction and what a feminist city might look like. It summarizes that social reproduction, including activities that renew and maintain life like childcare, are as fundamental to society as production of goods. However, the organization of this work and social relationships around it have varied widely and been central to gender inequality. A feminist city would value and support social reproduction work through common resources self-governed by communities rather than treating them as public, private, or state domains.
Towards a democratization of money, credit and financial systemsConor McCabe
油
The document summarizes comments from Brendan McDonagh, the Chief Executive of NAMA, about the causes of Ireland's financial crisis. McDonagh states that a relatively small number of people took on large amounts of debt totaling 62 billion to purchase overvalued assets, similar to a Ponzi scheme. Irish banks lent too much money, inflating asset prices in a way that was unsustainable given Ireland's actual economic growth rate, causing a disconnect between the economy and bank lending rates of 35-40% annually. This overpaying for overvalued assets ultimately caused problems.
Mary mellor, an eco feminist proposal, nlr 116 117, march june 2019Conor McCabe
油
This document summarizes Mary Mellor's proposal for an eco-feminist model of "sufficiency provisioning" as an alternative economic strategy. The key points are:
1) Current economic models and green strategies fail to recognize the essential role of unpaid reproductive labor, mainly done by women, that sustains both human and environmental life.
2) An eco-feminist model of "sufficiency provisioning" would make meeting basic human needs like housing, food, and care for all within environmental limits the top priority, guided by principles of social justice and sustainability.
3) Democratizing the money system could help transition to this model by supporting more localized, cooperative production to meet needs rather than
Feminist Economics, Finance and the CommonsConor McCabe

The document discusses the history of capitalism and its relationship to social reproduction. It argues that the witch hunts in Europe helped lay the foundations for capitalist society by weakening peasant resistance to privatization of land and the imposition of state control. This destroyed old belief systems and practices that were incompatible with capitalism. The document also discusses Fernand Braudel's analysis of different sectors in pre-industrial Europe, with capitalism existing in a narrow zone alongside a market economy and non-market sectors. Social reproduction, including unpaid domestic work, was considered unproductive and outside the realm of economics. The creation of export-oriented industries employing women in developing countries in the 1960s-80s is also mentioned.
Feminist Economics, Finance, and the CommonsConor McCabe
油
The document discusses the history of capitalism and its relationship to non-capitalist systems. It argues that capitalism in the past only occupied a small part of the economy and existed alongside much larger non-capitalist systems. It also discusses Fernand Braudel's distinction between the economy, capitalism, and a lowest non-economic stratum. The document advocates understanding capitalism in relation to the surrounding non-capitalist context from which it was defined.
This document examines state-corporate crime in Ireland using a case study approach. It discusses concepts like mediated corruption and how corruption can indirectly benefit political actors. It also analyzes Ireland's relatively low levels of corruption in the early 1900s-1920s, when collective moral bonds and respect for the rule of law were strong. However, it suggests definitions of crime are politically shaped. It examines Ireland's 2008 banking crisis and the government guarantee that benefited banks over depositors. Finally, it discusses NAMA and the small number of debtors behind huge loans, reflecting an unsustainable bubble.
Feminist economics, finance, and the commonsConor McCabe
油
This document discusses several topics related to feminist economics, finance, and the commons, including:
1) Capitalism and "new enclosures" of the commons, how capitalism has expanded over the last century.
2) Marxist feminist perspectives on social reproduction and how unpaid domestic labor sustains society.
3) The role of the commons and potential strategies for change, such as recognizing and valuing social reproductive labor.
The collapse of Lehman Brothers on September 15, 2008 made headlines the next day. Over the last 25 years, capitalism seems to have changed in a fundamental way, with capital becoming more globally mobile since 1970. This greater mobility of capital has been a significant trend over this period.

The document discusses how capitalism has changed over the last 25 years, with capital becoming more globally mobile since 1970. It focuses on the collapse of Lehman Brothers on September 15, 2008 and the headlines about it the following day.
Over the last 25 years, capitalism has changed in that capital has become more globally mobile. Finance has transformed from a modest helper to economic growth to a primary driver, as speculative financial markets became the new engine of growth with weak productive investment. The Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008 highlighted this crisis. The document discusses that the crisis presents an opportunity to regulate financial markets and redistribute wealth more evenly through expanded public programs and unions pushing for change, though formidable organization will be required.
