The conversation opens with a discussion on why Palestinian liberation is a threat to capitalism globally—we unpack the role that Palestine plays geopolitically in West Asia and the role that West Asia plays in global capital accumulation. We go on to talk about Israel's role as the US's proxy force and attack dog, not just in West Asia, but throughout the globe as well, from Argentina to Guatemala. We then talk about Trump's so-called "Board of Peace," and its vision for Gaza before discussing what's taking place in the West Bank and the official death of the Two State Solution. We then broaden the conversation out and situate what's happening in Palestine into the context of the United States' quest for geopolitical hegemony, what this means in terms of the Second Cold War with China, and the implications for Palestine, West Asia, and the world at large.

För det första, Tillväxtparadigmet och dess dolda kostnader, En central poäng i boken är att ekonomisk tillväxt ofta behandlas som ett neutralt mått på framsteg, trots att BNP inte skiljer mellan värdeskapande och skadliga aktiviteter. Hickel lyfter hur tillväxtlogiken pressar fram ökande resursuttag, mer utsläpp och snabbare omvandling av landskap, samtidigt som vinsterna fördelas ojämnt. Han diskuterar hur ekonomier byggs för att kräva expansion för att hålla sysselsättning, skattebas och företagsvinster uppe, vilket gör att politiken låses vid att ständigt skapa mer produktion och konsumtion. I detta perspektiv blir ekologiska kriser inte olyckor, utan förutsägbara följder av ett system som behöver växa oavsett konsekvenser. Resonemanget kopplar också till hur reklam, planerat slitage och kreditdriven konsumtion kan fungera som verktyg för att hålla efterfrågan igång. Därmed blir frågan inte bara hur vi minskar utsläppen, utan varför vi organiserar ekonomin så att den måste expandera för att fungera. För det andra, Historiska rötter: kolonialism, inhägnader och billig natur, Hickel placerar dagens globala ekonomi i en längre historia där tillväxtens möjligheter delvis skapades genom våld, expropriation och ojämlika handelsrelationer. Han beskriver hur koloniala strukturer och inhägnader av gemensamma resurser omvandlade människor och natur till insatsvaror i en expanderande marknadsekonomi. Ett återkommande tema är idén om billig natur och billigt arbete: att välstånd i vissa delar av världen har byggt på att kostnaderna, ekologiskt och socialt, skjutits över på andra platser. I modern form syns detta i globala leverantörskedjor, råvaruexport och skuldsättning som kan begränsa handlingsutrymme i låg- och medelinkomstländer. Genom att förstå dessa rötter blir degrowth inte enbart en klimatstrategi, utan också en rättvisefråga där historiska obalanser behöver erkännas och adresseras. Boken pekar på att en omställning måste undvika att lägga bördan på dem som redan konsumerar minst, och i stället rikta fokus mot överkonsumtion och maktstrukturer i rikare ekonomier. För det tredje, Teknik, effektivitet och myten om grön tillväxt, Ett viktigt spår är kritiken av antagandet att vi kan fortsätta öka produktion och konsumtion samtidigt som vi minskar miljöpåverkan tillräckligt snabbt. Hickel diskuterar hur effektiviseringar ofta äts upp av ökad total efterfrågan, samt hur materiella flöden och energibehov tenderar att följa ekonomins storlek. Han problematiserar begreppet frikoppling mellan BNP och resursanvändning, och menar att även om relativa förbättringar är möjliga kan absolut frikoppling i den takt som krävs vara svår att uppnå globalt. Teknik framställs inte som oviktig, men som otillräcklig om den kombineras med ett system som premierar expansion. Han tar också upp att en del så kallade gröna lösningar kräver stora mängder metaller, mark och energi, vilket skapar nya konflikter och ekologiska tryck. Slutsatsen blir att klimatpolitiken behöver mer än innovation och marknadssignaler; den behöver mål för minskad genomströmning av energi och material, särskilt i höginkomstländer, samtidigt som välfärd och trygghet säkras på andra sätt än via tillväxt. För det fjärde, Deg
In this episode, I’m joined by economic anthropologist Jason Hickel, author of The Divide: Global Inequality from Conquest to Free Markets (W.W. Norton, 2018), to discuss the complex and interconnected relationship between imperialism—both past and present—and global economic inequality. We examine why mainstream liberal frameworks for understanding the divide between rich and poor countries inevitably fall short, instead presenting an alternative account of global inequality that centers the crucial role of colonial plunder (as well as unequal exchange in the supposedly ‘postcolonial’ era) in keeping vast swaths of the world trapped in conditions of poverty, underdevelopment, and economic dependency. About the show: Return to Bandung is hosted by Pranay Somayajula, an Indian-American writer, researcher, and organizer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His work explores themes of diaspora, (inter)nationalism, anticolonial politics, and the many lives and afterlives of empire.

My guest today is Jason Hickel, Professor at the Institute for Environmental Science & Technology (ICTA) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and author of two books: The Divide and Less is More. We discuss why a growth-based capitalist economy is incompatible with a livable planet, and what a truly democratic, post-capitalist economy could look like. We cover lots of topics – including degrowth, AI, the history of capitalist imperialism, and how to achieve a democratic ecosocialist transition. Thanks to Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) for generously providing us with a space for this interview.

The world that we all grew up in is no longer a reality—although, in many ways, those in power are grasping onto it with the desperation of drowning men flailing, lashing out—furious, terrified, and in denial of what is staring them in their faces: imminent death. The rest of us are watching this process unfold before our very eyes—also terrified, but seemingly powerless. It's a weird time to be alive. But when has it ever not been? As we watch, experience, and feel the collapse of the state that we live within—or for those of us not currently living in the belly of the beast, the imperial world that this state rules over—it feels like an important time to explore this collapse. Specifically, it's an important time to understand what's happening in the imperial world order, and in order to do that, we must understand China. In this conversation, we've brought on a regular guest—a guest who you all know and love— Jason Hickel , to talk about China. Jason Hickel is a professor at the The Institute for Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona , the author of the books The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions and Less is More: How Degrowth will Save the World . In this conversion we first take a brief dive into modern Chinese history, looking at the pre-revolution period, the 1949 communist revolution itself, the Mao period, the Deng period, and the Xi period. We analyze what the rise of China means in terms of the current world order and the implications for the United States. We tackle some common questions and dispel some common myths about China—like, is China capitalist? Is it imperialist? We analyze some current events like trade wars and Tiktok bans, and finally, we explain why it's crucial not to fall into the trap of U.S. propaganda when it comes to how we on the Western left analyze China.

AcademicJobs Podcast Concept Title: ‘ABOUT the Author’ Sponsor: AcademicJobs.com (Celebrating academic authors and their work) Episode Focus: Jason Hickel Jason Hickel - Key Details Affiliations: Professor, Institute for Environmental Science & Technology (ICTA-UAB), Autonomous University of Barcelona. Visiting Professor, International Inequalities Institute, London School of Economics. Fellow, Royal Society of Arts. Member of various influential boards and commissions (US National Academy of Sciences, Green New Deal for Europe, Rodney Commission on Reparations, Lancet Commission on Sustainable Health). Background: Originally from Eswatini, giving a unique international perspective. Jason Hickel Research & Writing Focus: Three Core Areas Jason Hickel’s work can be broadly categorized into three key, interrelated areas: - Political Economy, Inequality and Ecological Economics: This forms the core of his most recent and impactful work. “Jason's research focuses on political economy, inequality, and ecological economics, which are the subjects of his two most recent books." - Global inequality, sustainable development, economic justice, ecological limits, post-capitalist transition. - Colonialism and Anti-Colonial Struggles:** Hickel’s earlier work delves into the historical and social impacts of colonialism, specifically within a South African context, demonstrating his deep engagement with these topics. "Jason's ethnographic work focuses on colonialism, anti-colonial struggles and the labour movement in South Africa..." - Anti-liberal politics, moral order, post-colonial identities, labor movements - Radical Climate Mitigation and Economic Democracy: Reflects his forward-thinking approach and engagement with current global challenges. "Jason presently holds an ERC Synergy grant for research exploring novel pathways for radical climate mitigation, economic democracy, and post-capitalist transition.” 5. Key Books (and Their Themes) Democracy as Death: The Moral Order of Anti-Liberal Politics in South Africa (2015): This book explores the intricacies of South African politics through an ethnographic lens focusing on anti-liberal movements, a foundation for his later examination of global inequalities. The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions (2017): Examines the causes and perpetuation of global inequalities, offering potential solutions. It clearly signals his shift towards a more global and macro perspective, and is a direct example of his "research focuses on political economy, inequality, and ecological economics." Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World (2020): Argues for a radical shift away from economic growth as a primary goal, advocating for degrowth as a solution to ecological crises and social inequality. A book which was "listed by the Financial Times and N
In this episode, we explore a groundbreaking research paper by Jason Hickel, Morena Hanbury Lemos & Felix Barbour that empirically demonstrates the substantial net appropriation of labour from the global South to the global North. The study quantifies this unequal exchange, revealing that the North benefited from 826 billion hours of embodied labour in 2021 alone. Hickel, Hanbury Lemos & Barbour highlight the role of significant wage disparities and their persistence across various sectors and skill levels. The paper concludes that this pattern exacerbates global poverty, underdevelopment, and inequality. Tune in to learn about the implications of this unequal exchange and the necessity for a shift in global power dynamics and economic governance to address these challenges.
“A capitalist economy requires constant imperialist wars because it has to constantly suppress prices and wages and reorganize production in the global south around accumulation in the core. That is ultimately the system that we have to overcome.” Jason Hickel, who won our hearts a while back by accepting MMT, talks with Steve about the burning issue of our time. (No, not the US election, though they touch on the electoral system.) As much as Gaza is dominating social media, we must continue to stress its place in the capital order. Jason points us to Israel’s true role: sowing chaos and instability in the region. The conversation covers the historical and ongoing imperialistic strategies of the U.S. and its reactions to the mid-century liberation movements of the Global South, placing US support for Israel's actions as part of a broader capitalist agenda to maintain control over the world's resources and labor markets. Jason looks at China’s domestic successes and how they have led to the US virtually declaring war. He also touches on recent news about BRICS. Jason compares the history of the state of Israel to that of apartheid S. Africa. They used many of the same tactics and rationalizations. When it comes to the future for Israelis and Palestinians, S. Africa again provides a model: “What is the actual solution for this region? And I think we have to be clear. The alternative is democracy. The alternative to apartheid is democracy. Democracy and equal rights for all people in the land of Palestine, from the river to the sea... “We have to start thinking about what this means... This is exactly what South Africa did after they abolished apartheid... They disestablished the apartheid state. They disestablished the apartheid institutions. They ensured equal rights and democracy for all within the territory.” Dr. Jason Hickel is an economic anthropologist, author, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He is Professor at the Institute for Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Visiting Senior Fellow at the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics, and Chair Professor of Global Justice and the Environment at the University of Oslo. Health. Jason's research focuses on global political economy, inequality, and ecological economics, which are the subjects of his two most recent books: The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions (Penguin, 2017), and Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World (Penguin, 2020), which was listed by the Financial Times and New Scientist as a book of the year. @jasonhickel on Twitter
We're often told that it would be unfeasible for everyone on the planet to live good lives—that if there wasn't some degree of poverty—or at least lower living standards—in the rest of the world, then we'd blow right through the ecological limits of the planet. Even if it's not said explicitly, the argument is that some people need to be poor in order for us in the Global North to live good lives. There's a lot wrong with this assumption on a lot of different levels, but most importantly—it's empirically inaccurate. It is possible, in fact, for everybody on the planet to have their needs met and to live a good life and make it happen, in fact, with only 30 percent of current global resource and energy use. That might sound unbelievable, right? Well, that's capitalist realism for you. Because not only is it believable—it's based on solid research and empirical data. It would, however, require ending capitalism and moving towards eco-socialism. So yes, it's possible. But it won't be easy. To discuss the research behind these exciting findings we've brought on economic anthropologist Jason Hickel . Jason is a professor at the The Institute for Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona , and the author of the books The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions and Less is More: How Degrowth will Save the World . He's the lead author of the paper " How much growth is required to achieve good lives for all? Insights from needs-based analysis " published in the journal World Development Perspectives, and which we'll be discussing today. As you may know, Jason is a regular guest on the show and was on most recently to discuss two other fascinating and important papers he recently co-authored, " Imperialist appropriation in the world economy: Drain from the global South through unequal exchange, 1990–2015 " published in journal Global Environmental Change and " Unequal exchange of labour in the world economy " published in the journal Nature Communications. What assumptions go into traditional economic thinking and how have they limited the way we conceptualize poverty and how we address it? How do we conceive of good lives—and how does our current economic system limit these conceptions and perpetuate environmental destruction and social immiseration? What would an economic system that is designed around meeting actual human and planetary needs look like? And, perhaps most importantly, how do we get there? These are just some of the questions we discuss in this fascinating conversation with economic anthropologist Jason Hickel.
