THE looming PERFECT STORM = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPMed4KOHuI

We look at the looming possibility of a global recession amid rising inflation, the pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine. World financial institutions and wealthier countries should take stronger actions such as writing off debts that are crippling developing nations, says Jayati Ghosh, economics professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. “This is just completely lack of political will. It’s not because we don’t know what to do.” Her piece in The Guardian is headlined “There is a global debt crisis coming — and it won’t stop at Sri Lanka,” and she also discusses other countries on the brink of an economic collapse, including Pakistan, Nepal, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Panama and Argentina.

  1. An Indian Parasite talking about Ceylon. India is a British made sewer cause of the suffering of many natives of tropical British Indian colonies now Indian colonies. Look at the poverty among the natives of Fiji, and African Indian colonies.
