SUMMARY:YSI @ WAPLAC 2: Network on Welfare & Policy in Latin American and the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:This project is a collaboration between the Inequality Working Group and WAPLAC\, following the success of our joint session in 2024. We are organizing a special YSI panel at the upcoming WAPLAC Workshop 2\, which will take place December\, 18-19\, 2025\, in Quito\, Ecuador.\n \nOur YSI session will create a dedicated space for early-career researchers to share their work and engage in dialogue with both peers and senior scholars. \nWe welcome submissions from young scholars in various domains of economics\, quantitative social sciences and political sciences are welcome\, and in particular on (but not restricted to): \n– Tax-benefit systems\, redistribution and poverty\n– Informal employment\, labor markets dynamics and working conditions.\n– Welfare programs and their impacts on education and health inequalities.\n– Equality of Opportunity and Intergenerational Mobility.\n– Perceptions of richness\, fairness\, income inequality\, and wellbeing.\n– Political economy\, voting attitudes\, social unrest and the middle class\, and other determinants of societal change. \nContributions focusing on other world regions are also welcome as long as there is a clear application for the context of LAC. \nSelected participants will present their work during the conference in Quito and participate in wider WAPLAC discussions. The format will be interactive\, with time for feedback\, discussion\, and networking. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with scholars across disciplines\, gain constructive feedback\, and become part of an international community focused on critical research on inequality and political economy. \nAfter the conference\, we aim to organize a virtual follow-up event (e.g.\, a webinar or online roundtable) open to the broader YSI network to share insights from the session and continue the conversation. We also plan to publish a blog post or written reflection summarizing the key themes discussed\, which will help disseminate the work more widely. \nYou can find more information on the Conference here: http://waplac.org/event/waplac-workshop-2-quito

SUMMARY:Rethinking Capitalism and Economic Order IV
DESCRIPTION:The History of Economic Thought Working Group and East Asia Working Group of the Young Scholars Initiative is launching a webinar series that brings critical attention to the idea\, practice\, and evolution of capitalism. This project aims to reconnect the history of economic ideas with the world they sought to describe\, reform\, or transform. Capitalism is not just an economic system; it is a lived experience\, a political project\, and an ideological battleground. \n  \nWe seek to open a conversation about capitalism as it has been theorised\, imagined\, and contested across historical periods and geographies. From early critiques of enclosures and slavery\, to colonial accumulation and contemporary platform economies\, capitalism’s forms have shifted\, but its underlying logics—commodification\, accumulation\, exclusion—continue to shape our worlds. \n  \nThis series will invite senior scholars who work across traditions—Marxist\, classical\, feminist\, ecological\, decolonial—to speak to these shifting realities. Our goal is not to arrive at a unified definition of capitalism\, but to stay with its plurality. What is the nature of capitalism in our time? What kind of capitalism is being debated in different contexts? What kind of resistance does it provoke? How do economic theories shape their justification or critique? \n  \nOur approach to history foregrounds tension\, silence\, and the politics of knowledge. The HET WG places special emphasis on themes like decolonisation\, pluralism\, epistemic difference\, and the often under-acknowledged intellectual contributions from the Global South. We invite our participants to think about histories of caste\, race\, gender\, and land\, alongside more familiar categories such as markets\, property\, and the state. \nKey areas of focus include: \n\nHistories of capitalism across continents: not just as diffusion from Europe\, but as co-productions and frictions and histories of capitalism have their centres spreading across the globe\, not only in the WEST but in the EAST too\, from Malacca\, Hugli\, Calicut\, Macao\, Nagasaki\, Pegu to Batavia\, to name a few.\nCapitalism’s relationship with colonialism\, racialisation\, and dispossession\nProperty regimes\, financial architectures\, and state-market entanglements\nTrade\, Tariffs and Wars\nDebates on crisis: inflation\, debt\, austerity\, climate collapse\nIntellectual genealogies: from Marx and Gandhi to Du Bois\, Luxemburg\, Fanon\, and Polanyi\nThe metabolism of capital and planetary boundaries\nThe role of economics as a discipline in naturalising or resisting capitalist logics\n\nThis series is not an attempt to replace critique with nostalgia or celebration. Instead\, we want to create a space where histories of capitalism can inform strategies for its transformation or transcendence. Theories of capitalism are not just descriptions; they are interventions. We hope to create a space where critique and imagination work in tandem. \n  \nProf. Rohinton P. Medhora\n  \nRethinking Intellectual Property and Data Through Economic and Social Lenses\, Thursday\, 18 December 2025\, 8:00 am EST\n  \nRohinton P. Medhora is Professor of Practice at the Institute for the Study of International Development at McGill University\, Montreal\, Canada and a former president of the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Waterloo\, Canada where he remains a Distinguished Fellow. During Spring 2026 he will be Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Stephen A. Schwarzman Scholars Program at Tsinghua University\, Beijing. Previously\, he was vice president of programs at Canada’s International Development Research Centre. His fields of expertise are international economic relations\, innovation policy\, and development economics. \nRohinton sits on the board of several non-profit organizations.  He was a member of the Commission on Global Economic Transformation and The Lancet and Financial Times Commission on Governing Health Futures 2030\, and is a founding member of its successor the Digital Transformations for Health Lab at the University of Geneva.  In 2021-22 he chaired the Ontario Workplace Recovery Advisory Committee. \nRohinton received his doctorate in economics in 1988 from the University of Toronto\, where he subsequently taught. He has published extensively in professional and non-technical journals and has produced several books including co-editing International Development: Ideas\, Experience\, and Prospects (Oxford University Press). In May 2025 he produced a three-part video series on the governance of new technologies with the Institute for New Economic Thinking in New York.
