  1. What has COVID-19 Taught Us about Neoliberalism?

In this article, Nela Porobić Isaković argues that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the toxic effects of our system of neoliberalism. She details the effects that this crisis is having and will have, particularly the differentiated effects on women, and shows that there are alternatives beyond neoliberalism.

  1. Organise or Militarise?

In this article, Ray Acheson advocates that a militarist response to this pandemic comes at the expense of every aspect of social wellbeing. Instead of directing our funds into militarism, we need to redirect them to social and environmental wellbeing. She argues the importance of recognising that, now, more than ever, inequality kills, and solidarity is the way forward.
