This wonderful new book just dropped through my mailbox. Looking forward to reading it, and congrats to @devikadutt.bsky.social @cacrisalves.bsky.social @surbhikesar.bsky.social @ingridhk.bsky.social 🎉

It’s out! I’m deeply proud and grateful for this book — especially for the chance to collaborate with such brilliant & bold minds. Here’s to hoping its ideas spark fresh conversations and inspire meaningful change in our field. #economics #eurocentrism #decolonisation

Economics obscures or is oblivious to the politics embedded in theorization itself. In this book, @devikadutt.bsky.social, @cacrisalves.bsky.social, @surbhikesar.bsky.social & @ingridhk.bsky.social return political questions to the heart of economic theorizing. See more: www.politybooks.com/...

Our book is out and available for purchase in the U.K. Writing this book with @cacrisalves.bsky.social @surbhikesar.bsky.social & @ingridhk.bsky.social was a long and arduous process that has arguably changed us all, and we’d be honoured for y’all to read it!

This is what the Israelis and their apologists call a targeted, anti-terror campaign. This is Rafah today.

Israeli statement here is clearly true. IDF did *not* "randomly attack' an ambulance and kill its occupants. The IDF deliberately attacked an ambulance and murdered its occupants. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...

I had the pleasure to interview the brilliant @sarastevano.bsky.social about her fantastic work on approaches to social reproduction. Listen to her speak about her work here 👇🏽

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

Informal economy as a term is so misunderstood in the West. Unsurprising, given the term was used to characterise the type of economies West couldn’t recognise or understand. It’s important to asses informal economy in terms of the question of labour and failed structural transformation. 1/n

Just seeing the RCT 'scandal' brewing among econs again. This is not a question about some bad apples or some instances of malpractice. The RCT industry has been completely distorted from its inception in Econ and this is closely tied to the incentive structure of the discipline.

The tendency among sm Marxists &/or leftists to diss identity aspects of contemporary movements or to reduce it to identity determinism betrays a laziness in analysis to meaningfully integrate theoretical category of class w/ identity. Let’s be better & put in the work. It’s not one vs other.

Let's try this: I am looking for Marxist / HetEcon views on monopoly, preferably more micro-focused than Baran / Sweezy. Any suggestions? @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social @surbhikesar.bsky.social @isabellamweber.bsky.social @mauricehoefgen.bsky.social #EconSky
