Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century

Dylan Sullivan et al.

Summary: This paper assessed claims about the prevalence of extreme poverty before the 19th century and the improvement of global human welfare with the rise of capitalism. The findings indicate that the claims of 90% of the population living in extreme poverty are unlikely, and the rise of capitalism led to a decline in human welfare. Progress in human welfare started several centuries after the rise of capitalism, with significant improvements occurring in the late 19th century in Northwest Europe and in the mid-20th century in other regions.

La Via Campesina - transforming agrarian and knowledge politics, and co-constructing a field: a laudatio

Saturnino M. M. Borras Jr

Summary: La Via Campesina has revitalized agrarian politics, reshaped knowledge politics, and helped create Critical Agrarian Studies. It has demonstrated the crucial role of agrarian movements in anti-capitalist struggles and in shaping a radically different and positive future. The significance of LVC lies not in the declining number of farming populations or agriculture's shrinking macroeconomic contributions, but in its powerful political representation of an alternative future.

Food sovereignty and property in Cuba and the United States

Sarah A. Blue et al.

Summary: Food sovereignty advocates for agroecological farming methods to reduce food insecurity by changing the political relations between people, land, and food policy. Reframing the social relationship to land through property is crucial in making food more accessible. The paper examines the case of usufruct land rights in Cuba as a framework for addressing limitations in producer autonomy and suggesting solutions towards the goal of food sovereignty.

Decent living gaps and energy needs around the world

Jarmo S. Kikstra et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the gaps in providing decent living standards (DLS) globally and estimates the energy requirements to support DLS for all by 2040. The results suggest that the rate of increase in energy needed to provide decent living for all in the coming two decades would be unprecedented for many countries. Different countries have varying per capita energy requirements for achieving the same DLS levels, with transport energy dominating energy expenditure for decent living worldwide.
