Millions Around the World Fleeing from Neoliberal Policy
By Michael Hudson
June 07, 2016 "Information Clearing House" - "TheRealNews" - Economist Michael Hudson says neoliberal policy will pressure U.S. citizens to emigrate, just as it caused millions to leave Russia, the Baltic States, and now Greece in search of a better life
A research team from Columbia University’s
Mailman School of Public Health in New York estimates 875,000 deaths in the
United States in year 2000 could be attributed to social factors related to
poverty and income inequality.
According to U.S. government statistics, 2.45
million Americans died in the same year. When compared to the Columbia research
team’s finding, social deprivation could account for some 36% of the total
deaths in 2000.
“Almost all of the British economists of the
late 18th century said when you have poverty, when you have a transfer of
wealth to the rich, you’re going to have shorter lifespans, and you’re also
going to have emigration,” says Michael Hudson, Distinguished Research
Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
