Across Globe, Neoliberalism Left Public Sector Unprepared for COVID-19
In this segment of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Subin Dennis, an economist and a researcher at Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, to talk about how decades of de-funding and privatization have left the public sector in many countries wholly unprepared for the coronavirus crisis, how the ruling class' fixation on forcing workers back to work—before the threat of the virus has abated—reveals the deep irrationality of our economic system, and why the leftist government in Kerala is so much better-prepared for the crisis than the portion of India more directly governed by far-right President Narendra Modi.
