Between the early 1960s and the early 1980s, all former colonies of the British Empire had become independent. Jamaica (1962), Trinidad and Tobago (1962), Barbados (1966), Bahamas (1973), Grenada (1974), …Dominica (1978), St. Lucia (1979), St. Vincent (1979), Antigua and Barbuda (1981), St. Kitts and Nevis (1983).
Many islands are still linked to the UK through the Commonwealth. They also have a place in the “spider web” an international financial system with its heart in the City of London. In this interview with the leading Caribbean Economist Marla Dukharan we discuss:
– the economic history of the islands
– the economic road map since independence
– the role of currency and monetary sovereignty
– the lack of nation-state building during the British Empire
– the appeal of crypto and digital currencies
– lessons for Scotland

Tax is increasingly seen as a global issue. With the restriction of capital controls a thing of the past, money flows easily across the globe. Profits easily find their way …to states with the lowest tax rates. Global tax evasion and avoidance hit $427 billion a year in 2020.
So setting the rules on tax is an exceptionally important job. Until 2022 this sat within the remit of the OECD. The richest nations decided on global tax policies, and everyone else (including the developing world) was expected to follow. Taxation without representation! But in 2022, this started to change. The UN is now in charge.
This might seem like a simple institutional swap but it has the potential to dramatically change how tax is collected and calculated across the globe.
The CEO of the Tax Justice Network covers the role of tax in a modern society and discussed the impact of the UN’s new tax mandate.[+] Show More

The Supreme Court judgement blew our concept of the UK being a voluntary union right out of the water! The question now for Scotland is “so how do we …leave?”
Yes Glasgow Southside had a zoom Q+A session with Professor Aileen McHarg to explore that question. Meanwhile, the SNP held an Opposition Day debate at Westminster on the topic of Scotland’s Future.
In this episode of our Mibbes Aye show, presenters Fiona and Marlene draw from both of these events to tease out some possible answers.

On a family trip to Adelaide, William interviewed Steven Hail and Gabi Bond, the two driving forces behind the course, to find out what made them take a huge leap of faith that they could create a course – with twelve in-depth modules – that no one had attempted before.

“Following on from our extremely successful Special Assembly in Perth, we are reconvening the Assembly in Edinburgh on the 14th of January to build upon the coherent and credible strategy …that we have set out so far.
In Perth, those in attendance were from a large cross-section of the Yes movement. Everyone played their part in a series of indicative votes that will help to shape the plan going forward. This follow-up assembly will follow the same format as before.
The event will be chaired by Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh and our panel of speakers will include the former First Minister, Alex Salmond, along with Neale Hanvey MP and Kenny MacAskill MP. All those in attendance will be given the opportunity to put their pressing questions to our panel.
Other prominent individuals from within the YES movement will be invited to attend and contribute to the discussion. They will be announced in due course. ” From Alba’s website

5 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE
– It is the biggest telescope every put in space.
– It was 14 years behind schedule and, at a cost …of $10 billion, 20 times over budget.
– If anything goes wrong, it cannot be mended if because it is floating a million kilometres from the Earth.
– It will be able to look back to the time when the first stars switched on a mere 100 million or so years after the big bang.
– It could detect the signs of technological civilisations around nearby stars.
GUEST: JOHN MATHER
John Mather is an American astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. He won the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the space-based “Cosmic Background Explorer” satellite, which observed the “afterglow” of the big bang with unprecedented precision. As senior project scientist of the James Webb, he is the man who made the space telescope happen.
