"The Repoliticization of the Welfare State grapples with the evolving nature of political conflict over social spending after the Great Recession. While the severity of the economic crisis encouraged strong social spending responses to protect millions of individuals, governments have faced growing pressure to reduce budgets and make deep cuts to the welfare state. Whereas conservative parties have embraced fiscal discipline and welfare state cuts, left-wing parties have turned away from austerity in favor of higher social spending. These political differences represent a return of traditional left-right beliefs over social spending and economic governance. This book is one of the first to systematically compare welfare state politics before and after the Great Recession, arguing that a new and lasting post-crisis dynamic has emerged where political parties once again matter for social spending. At the heart of this repoliticization are intense ideological debates over market regulation, social inequality, redistribution, and the role of the state. The book analyzes social spending dynamics for 28 countries before and after the crisis. It also includes in-depth country case studies representing five distinct welfare state types: Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, and the Czech Republic."

This report discusses the remarks delivered by World Bank Group President David Malpass at the Launch of IDA20 in Tokyo, Japan. Global growth is expected to slow sharply from 5.7 percent in 2021 to 2.9 percent in 2022, with further slowing likely as more countries fall into recession. In developing economies, COVID-19 has already had a devastating impact on income growth and poverty reduction. The war in Ukraine is dealing yet another blow to their growth prospects. Developing countries are now expected to grow by a mere 3.4 percent in 2022, well below the average from 2011 to 2019. Each step in the progression of crises in recent years is leaving poorer countries further behind, adding to inequality. My deep concern is that these trends will persist. The World Bank Group is making around 170 billion dollars in financing available for new and existing projects over the 15 months starting April 2022 to support this crisis response package. This will be complemented by analytical and advisory work to strengthen evidence-based development policies and programs.

Tout porte a croire que l'epidemie du coronavirus est apparue a point nomme pour servir de paravent sanitaire et d'argumentation justificatrice a l'effondrement de l'economie mondiale pourtant depuis longtemps previsible. Tout s'est passe comme si l'irruption de la Covid-19 etait l'occasion attendue pour tenter de resoudre les contradictions du capitalisme au moyen d'une operation de destruction massive d'infrastructures devenues inoperantes pour la valorisation du capital dans le cadre d'une refondation d'un nouvel ordre mondial.
