The x-axis is the % tariff rate faced by each LDC. The size of each bubble represents the log of total exports to the US, while the colour, from blue to red, signifies the proportion of the country’s exports going to the US. In the basic model used to make the calculations, I assume an elasticity of -0.75 for garments. Studies suggest that a 1% price increase reduces apparel demand by 0.5% to 1% (an elasticity of -0.5 to -1). So assuming a elasticity of of -0.75, half way between these levels, a 50% price increase could reduce demand in Lesotho by 37.5% (0.75 × 50%), a loss of $120 million. Garments are easily substitutable, so this seems plausible. For commodity exporters like Angola and DR Congo I assume a lower elasticity of -0.4. I also assume that the impact of reduced spending on each economy multiplies the impact by 1.5 to 2. Clearly this is a very basic model put together quickly that hasn't been academically reviewed, and doubtless has shortcomings. But it serves as a rough guide as to which countries will be affected worst, together with the magnitudes. https://www.claspblog.org/blogposts/race-profit-and-algorithms-ibuyers monthly 0.5 2025-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/0e9f5bab-455e-4072-b83d-9275ff09ed9f/Wonyoung2.png Blog - Race, Profit, and Algorithms: How iBuyers Leverage Neighbourhood Inequality - Make it stand out Screenshot from the Opendoor website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/977e0c73-ca40-4056-9acb-c7b623ac45ec/Wonyoung1.jpg Blog - Race, Profit, and Algorithms: How iBuyers Leverage Neighbourhood Inequality - Figure 1.

But beginning in the late 1980s, the region's agrarian economy was rapidly transformed by the removal of state protections, a shift to export-oriented monoculture, and an influx of disenfranchised, ill-paid migrants from northeast Thailand (Isaan). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/bc33b9ab-f48a-4fa8-bc83-98a79baaee20/Boyle+AoL+Cover+1.jpeg Blog - Book round-up: Latest works by CLaSP members - The Arts of Logistics: Artistic Production in Supply Chain Capitalism by Michael Shane Boyle We live in a world where nothing is untouched by supply chains—art included. In this major contribution to the study of contemporary culture and supply chains, Michael Shane Boyle has assembled a global inventory of aesthetics since the 1950s that reveals logistics to be a pervasive means of artistic production. The Arts of Logistics provides a new map of supply chain capitalism, scrutinizing how artists retool technologies designed for circulating commodities. What emerges is a magisterial account of the logistics revolution that foregrounds the role played by art in the long downturn of global capitalism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/461e9d6e-4b85-4a79-a821-c04fd9f3bbef/Paid+to+Care+cover.png Blog - Book round-up: Latest works by CLaSP members - Paid to Care: Domestic Workers in Contemporary Latin American Culture by Rachel Randall Paid domestic work in Latin America is often undervalued, underpaid, and underregulated. Exploring a wave of Latin American cultural texts since the 1980s that draw on the personal experiences of paid domestic work or intimate ties to domestic employees, Paid to Care offers insights into the struggles domestic workers face through an analysis of literary testimonials, documentary and fiction films, and works of digital media. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/5f260368-03dc-4e6e-81d9-41fcdd445421/cover+pic.png Blog - Book round-up: Latest works by CLaSP members - Remittances and Financial Inclusion: Contested Geographies of Marketisation in Senegal and Ghana by Vincent Guermond This book comprehensively explores the messy and contested relationship between everyday practices of remittance sending and receiving, processes of market making, and operations of micro- and global finance. Remittances and Financial Inclusion critically investigates a global migration-development agenda that aims to harness remittances for development by incorporating remittance flows and households into global financial circuits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/527b6905-1328-46a2-b7ff-cf3f076dea67/Picture1.jpg Blog - Book round-up: Latest works by CLaSP members - Hottest of the Hotspots: The Rise of Eco-precarious Conservation Labor in Madagascar by Benjamin Neimark Continually recognized as one of the “hottest” of all the world’s biodiversity hotspots, the island of Madagascar has become ground zero for the most intensive market-based conservation interventions on Earth. This book details the rollout of market conservation programs, including the finding of drugs from nature—or “bioprospecting”—biodiversity offsetting, and the selling of blue carbon credits from mangroves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/b95e7fbf-4bfc-42c4-a590-4382a3910dd9/Paula+book+cover.jpg Blog - Book round-up: Latest works by CLaSP members - Creating Worlds Otherwise: Art, Collective Action, and (Post)Extractivism by Paula Serafini Honorable Mention, Best Book in Latin American Visual Culture Studies, Latin American Studies Association–Visual Culture Studies Section, 2023 Extractivism has increasingly become the ground on which activists and scholars in Latin America frame the dynamics of ecological devastation, accumulation of wealth, and erosion of rights. These maladies are the direct consequences of long-standing extraction-oriented economies, and more recently from the expansion of the extractive frontier and the implementation of new technologies in the extraction of fossil fuels, mining, and agriculture. But the fields of sociology, political ecology, anthropology, and geography have largely ignored the role of art and cultural practices in studies of extractivism and post-extractivism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/67f7e4d2-adcf-457b-8623-7474bd4d2c32/Labour+regimes+cover.jpg Blog - Book round-up: Latest works by CLaSP members - Labour Regimes and Global Production Edited by Elena Baglioni, Liam Campling, Neil M. Coe, Adrian Smith The book traces the intellectual development of labour regime concepts across various disciplines, notably political economy, development studies, sociology and geography. Building on these foundations it considers conceptual debates around labour regimes and global production relating to issues of scale, informality, gender, race, social reproduction, ecology and migration, and offers new insights into the work conditions of global production chains from Amazon's warehouses in the United States, to industrial production networks in the Global South, and to the dormitory towns of migrant workers in Czechia. It also explores recent mobilizations of labour regime analysis in relation to methods, theory and research practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/26d2ad05-f882-4855-aded-6954e7367524/Unprecedented+cover.jpg Blog - Book round-up: Latest works by CLaSP members - Unprecedented: How Covid-19 Revealed the Politics of our Economy by William Davies, Sahil Dutta, Nick Taylor, Martina Tazzioli A critical and evidence-based account of the COVID-19 pandemic as a political–economic rupture, exposing underlying power struggles and social injustices. The dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic represented an exceptional interruption in the routines of work, financial markets, movement across borders and education. The policies introduced in response were said to be unprecedented—but the distribution of risks and rewards was anything but. While asset-owners, outsourcers, platforms and those in spacious homes prospered, others faced new hardships and dangers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/c3a796e8-41d9-45ee-a3b3-f60acbf7a2c9/Sklair+book+cover+2.jpg Blog - Book round-up: Latest works by CLaSP members - Brazilian Elites and their Philanthropy: Wealth at the service of development by Jessica Sklair This book explores the philanthropy of Brazilian elites during a key period in recent Brazilian history, from Workers Party president Lula’s last term in office through to the election of far-right president Jair Bolsonaro. Against this backdrop of political upheaval, the book asks what philanthropy can reveal about the role of corporate and wealth elites in upholding the structures of socioeconomic inequality that continue to define Brazilian society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/8e956980-7d78-4d33-8ff0-b3e458ca1ee5/Liam+book+cover.jpeg Blog - Book round-up: Latest works by CLaSP members - Capitalism and the Sea: The Maritime Factor in the Making of the Modern World By Liam Campling and Alejandro Colás The global ocean has through the centuries served as a trade route, strategic space, fish bank and supply chain for the modern capitalist economy. While sea beds are drilled for their fossil fuels and minerals, and coastlines developed for real estate and leisure, the oceans continue to absorb the toxic discharges of our carbon civilization - warming, expanding, and acidifying the blue water part of the planet in ways that will bring unpredictable but irreversible consequences for the rest of the biosphere. In this book, Campling and Colás analyse these and other sea-related phenomena through a historical and geographical lens. In successive chapters dealing with the political economy, ecology and geopolitics of the sea, the authors argue that the earth's geographical separation into land and sea has significant consequences for capitalist development. https://www.claspblog.org/blogposts/gamingworkersunionise monthly 0.5 2025-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/388e12dd-d91e-485a-838e-6ce9296df4c2/Game+Over+image_JW+blog.jpg Blog - Ctrl+Alt+Union: Game workers’ struggle and unionisation - Make it stand out (Source: Photo by Roger Ce on Unsplash) https://www.claspblog.org/blogposts/r5dffbww4qc9bh4n8xrxf2dp6v80e1-7serh monthly 0.5 2024-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/d98fc702-0350-4714-8b7c-ca6fd04aa45b/22511902291_0e86859af5_o.jpg Blog - Book Review: Adam Hanieh’s Crude Capitalism: Oil, Corporate Power, and the Making of the World Market - Make it stand out One of the largest refineries in Europe, located in Romania.

Captains of Industry: How Capitalist Legitimacy Shaped Foreign Investment Policy in India - Jackson demonstrates that Indian policymakers have sought to favor firms that they believe are most likely to advance industrial development and societal progress at home. In particular, official policy and discourse have sought to confer a kind of moral legitimacy on businesses that invest their profits in local professional development and technological innovation—practices deemed synonymous with economic modernization. Meanwhile, firms seen as simply trading rather than producing, or as engaging in financial speculation and other allegedly regressive activities, have been viewed unfavorably. Jackson argues that these moral categories of capitalist legitimacy have shaped policymaking from the demise of the East India Company and rise of a new class of Indian industrialists in the late nineteenth century; to clashes between companies including Coca-Cola, Thums Up, Hero, and Honda in the twentieth; to more recent efforts to centralize political power through controversial market-governance projects. https://www.claspblog.org/events/finance-capital-state-politics monthly 0.5 2025-10-16 https://www.claspblog.org/events/behind-the-furrow-film-screening-and-discussion-with-jonathan-om monthly 0.5 2025-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/4a08707c-27d4-44b5-a33e-5a9fc2c2478a/final_ig.jpg Events - BEHIND THE FURROW: Film Screening and discussion with Jonathan Om Israel’s frontier agriculture is inextricable from colonial violence, especially in the region surrounding the Gaza Strip, and Thai migrant workers labouring on farms in the region are cruelly exposed to the repercussions. Filmmaker Jonathan Om has been collaborating with Thai migrants in the border region on a cinematic project sketching the deep connections between agriculture and militarism since 2021, continuing through the Hamas attack of October 2023 and the genocidal war on Gaza which has followed. Join us for a preview screening of this work in progress, The Snake Charmer (Germany, 2026), and a discussion between the filmmaker and anthropologist Matan Kaminer (CLaSP, QMUL), author of Capitalist Colonial: Thai Migrant Workers in Israeli Agriculture (Stanford, 2024). https://www.claspblog.org/events/decolonize-ecomodernism monthly 0.5 2025-05-25 https://www.claspblog.org/events/spectre-of-state-capitalism monthly 0.5 2025-04-28 https://www.claspblog.org/events/materialities-of-ai-labour-ecology-and-inequalities-at-the-technological-frontier monthly 0.5 2025-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6405e1727f19f127c4b8bffc/eb744286-3620-4924-b2c3-d04279c5d20b/banner_clasp2025_3_wine.png Events -
