‘Rich country, poor people’ explores the achievements and challenges of the Brazilian economy. Starting its colonial existence as a plantation economy, Brazil is now one of the most successful examples of 20th-century industrialization in the world. It has become an upper middle-income country that is part of the BRICS association of five major emerging economies. However, Brazil is currently caught in a low-growth trap. It is also one of the ten most unequal countries in the world. Thus, the Brazilian economy reflects a paradox: while the well-being of most people in the country has improved over the last three decades, the productive base that sustained that improvement is under threat.

People describe India in many different ways. Many say, India is a rich country where poor people live. The Indian challenge is simply that rather than being described as a rich country where poor people live⁄ some day someone will have to describe us as a rich country where rich people live. This can happen only when we realize the wealth creation potential of knowledge. Creating wealth out of knowledge is a crucial challenge for us. Among other things⁄ mastery of manufacturing technology assumes a key role in this entire process of wealth creation. In this paper⁄ Ramesh Mashelkar discusses the new challenges that India will face in manufacturing technology as we enter the twenty-first century.

Theorists of neoliberalism have placed dispossession and displacement at the centre of their analyses of the workings of contemporary global capitalism. Disability, however, has not figured centrally into these analyses. This essay attends to what might be comprehended as the crip echoes generated by dispossession, displacement, and a global austerity politics. Centring on British-Mexican relations during a moment of austerity in the UK and gentrification in Mexico City, the essay identifies both the voices of disability that are recognized by and made useful for neoliberalism as well as those shut down or displaced by this dominant economic and cultural system. The spatial politics of austerity in the UK have generated a range of punishing, anti-disabled policies such as the so-called ‘Bedroom Tax.’ The essay critiques such policies (and spatial politics) by particularly focusing on two events from 2013: a British embassy good will event exporting British access to Mexico City and an installation of photographs by Livia Radwanski. Radwanski's photos of the redevelopment of a Mexico City neighbourhood (and the displacement of poor people living in the neighbourhood) are examined in order to attend to the ways in which disability might productively haunt an age of austerity, dispossession, and displacement.
