Ramaswami: The Novel Coronavirus crisis has seeded a deep rot within the globalised industrial system. The corporatist Mecca, Wall Street, is deserted as shares and stocks plummet. The ILO predicts that over 25 million jobs will be lost globally, much higher than 2008 recession which cost 22 million jobs. Meanwhile, another report says over 400 million or 40 crore workers may sink into poverty in India. No sector remains unscathed by Covid-19, especially not Indian agriculture. But this is only the beginning of Trouble 3.0 for our agriculture. The agrarian sector—the farmers, their seeds, the farm inputs sector, etc—were already in dismal state. Now, a plangent requiem for small and medium Indian companies is also underway, as profits fall and the threat of takeovers by corporate behemoths grow more real each day.
