The US’s large trade deficit is highest with three major economic partners – China, Mexico and Vietnam. In 2024,

I want to know how much of this #deficit is because US companies have sent manufacturing overseas because of #greed.

Le réarmement est une opportunité pour le capital d'obtenir des réductions de la protection sociale et des services publics, au prix d'une baisse de la rentabilité.

Chatham House : « Les hommes politiques devront se préparer à récupérer de l'argent en réduisant les allocations de maladie, les pensions de retraite et les soins de santé. »

La ministre britannique des finances, Rachel Reeves n'a cessé de réduire les dépenses consacrées aux allocations familiales, aux allocations d'hiver pour les personnes âgées et aux prestations d'invalidité. Elle a annoncé que les attributions du nouveau Fonds national de richesse du gouvernement "travailliste" seraient modifiées afin de lui permettre d'investir dans "la défense" (en fait l'industrie de l'armement).

L'augmentation des dépenses militaires stimule la croissance mais peut nuire à la « santé » du processus d'accumulation capitaliste (en) thenextrecession.wordpress.com

Graphique de la part d'investissement dans le PIB La reprise de l'économie étatsunienne après la Grande Dépression n'a pas commencé avant la seconde guerre mondiale. L'investissement n'a décollé qu'à partir de 1941 (Pearl Harbor) pour atteindre, en pourcentage du PIB, plus du double du niveau de 1940. Comment cela se fait-il ? Ce n'est pas le résultat d'une reprise des investissements du secteur privé. Ce qui s'est produit, c'est une augmentation massive des investissements et des dépenses publiques. En 1940, les investissements du secteur privé étaient encore inférieurs au niveau de 1929 et ont même continué à baisser pendant la guerre. Le secteur public a pris en charge la quasi-totalité des investissements, les ressources (en "valeur") étant détournées vers la production d'armes et d'autres mesures de sécurité dans une économie de guerre totale.

Rearmament is an opportunity for capital to obtain reductions in welfare and public services, at the cost of lower profitability.

Chatham House: “Politicians will have to brace themselves to reclaim money through cuts to sickness benefits, pensions and healthcare.”

Britain’s finance minister Rachel Reeves, who has been steadily cutting spending on child credits, winter payments for the aged and disability benefits, announced that the remit of the Labour government’s new National Wealth Fund would be changed to let it invest in defence.

More military spending spurs growth but can damage the ‘health’ of the capitalist accumulation process: thenextrecession.wordpress.com

A graph of investment as part of GDP US economic recovery from the Great Depression did not start until the world war was underway. Investment took off only from 1941 (Pearl Harbor) onwards to reach, as a share of GDP, more than double the level that investment stood at in 1940. Why was that? Well, it was not the result of a pick-up in private sector investment. What happened was a massive rise in government investment and spending. In 1940, private sector investment was still below the level of 1929 and actually fell further during the war. The state sector took over nearly all investment, as resources (value) were diverted to the production of arms and other security measures in a full war economy.
