NIKA DUBROVSKY:
Hello everyone. Thank you so much for coming to this David Graeber Institute evening with Michael Hudson and Kathleen Tyson about the end of the dollar dominance and why that shift is already irreversible. Michael Hudson is an economic historian and one of the most important thinkers who influenced David Graeber. He has spent his life studying how debt, empire and finance shape global power, and how the dollar system allowed the US to extract resources and control other countries' policies without anyone quite noticing.

Martin Jay
The real problem for Trump is both his and his team's ignorance and misunderstanding of Iran.
Can anyone make any sense at all of Trump's illogical, capricious and preposterous statements on Iran ? This is a president who tore up the JCPOA deal in 2018, which limited Iran's ability to develop enriched uranium to barely 4% strength, allowing Tehran to go to 60% today.

A strategic player in the region
Ahead of the BRICS+ plenary session in Delhi, it is necessary to analyze in greater detail the role of India-which holds the presidency this year-in the most sensitive contexts of this period.
Over the past three decades, India has progressively and profoundly transformed its role in the Middle Eastern system, evolving from a mere trade and energy partner to a geopolitical and geoeconomic player of growing significance.
