COVID-19 is changing our world, possibly not for the better. The ways we understand and "frame" this crisis have consequences in ethical, analytical, and policy terms. What is new in this COVID 19 crisis? What can we learn from previous crises to think about this one?

In this webinar, Dr Gisela Carrasco-Miró argues in favor of decolonizing feminist economics, discussing how drawing from the experiences of non-Western and non-capitalist economies is a necessary step to transform knowledge production and foster real change.

The Timeline of Capitalism is a collective project created by members of the Economic Policy Working Group of ESCR-Net. This project seeks to: (1) Strengthen a common analysis of the dominant socio-economic system, its history and structural impacts on human rights and the environment; (2) Deepen a common narrative that identifies related contradictions and opportunities for collective action to advance human rights and social justice; and (3) Establish strategies to facilitate popular education related to this analysis and narrative within and beyond ESCR-Net.

This position document--that emerged from the work of the ESCR-Net Monitoring Working group--analyzes key gaps in how states produce and use data to make decisions that affect ESCR and identifies a set of five principles and recommendations for states to gather, analyze and use data in ways that advance ESCR and reduce inequalities. These principles are based on states’ well-established legal obligations regarding monitoring and the production and use of data to implement and advance the enjoyment of economic, social, and cultural rights.
