Economists Launch Blog on Triple Crises in Finance, Development, and Environment

Recently, economists from nine countries launched a new website that focuses on finance, development, and the environment. The TripleCrisis blog is being written by experts from the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University, India's Economic Research Foundation, and the Heinrich Boell Foundation-U.S. Kevin P. Gallagher of Tufts and Jayati Ghosh of the Economic Research Foundation are chairing the effort.

An introductory post gives a sense of what the bloggers will cover:

Crises are not new to the world economy, nor to developing countries. Indeed, our current predicament is a convergence of at least three crises: in global finance, development, and environment. These areas are seemingly disparate but actually interact with each other in forceful ways to reflect major structural imbalances between finance and the real economy; between the higher income and developing economies; between the human economic system and the earth's ecosystems. This blog seeks to contribute to a more open and global dialogue around these three crises, about how they interact, and how they can collectively be solved.

Although it is still early days in so far as TripleCrisis blog is concerned, it is still well worth a look.
