This is wild. At no point at the peak of structural adjustment would you have heard the IMF or WB say: ‘Turn every possible state-owned resource into an asset, every possible state-owned asset into a security, and leverage all possible state-owned funds.’ www.ft.com/content/2d9e...

What's wrong with the Acemoglu argument that liberalism can save the working class? Very many things, of course...(!!) I make a small intervention about what he misses about the nature of global capitalism in today's @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/d4f8...

Looking forward to this!! We'll be in the Haague as part of our forthcoming Forum issue on financial hierarchies @iliasalami.bsky.social @cacrisalves.bsky.social @bbonizzi.bsky.social @anninak.bsky.social @kaikodden.bsky.social @powelljr.bsky.social

The first academic review of our book is out! Nice one by Luis Cortés in Capital & Class. Very grateful for the engagement 😊 Just one key correction: this is *not* a decolonial book as such. It's common for folks to immidiately see *decoloniality* when reading... journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Join us today to learn from Ben's excellent book :)

Join the United Nations Economist Network Working Group on Human-Centred Economics and Sustainable Development for a discussion with the authors of the new book, Decolonizing Economics: An Introduction. 🔥 Tomorrow! Tuesday, 18 Nov., at 230-4pm UK time. hetecon.net/2025/11/14/d...

Join us at KCL Wednesday!

The only amusing thing about Summers/Epstein is this journalist referring to Summers as a "leftwing academic". LOL. Also, how did it take so many so long to peg Summers as a wrong'un? Already in 1991 he was trumpeting the economic logic of "dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country".

The Call for Streams for the 28th Annual Conference of the Association for Heterodox Economics (AHE) is still open! Please submit your Stream proposal within the next week. The conference will take place 1-3 July 2026, in University of Coimbra, Portugal. hetecon.net/2025/10/15/c...

Wondering if anyone has a good overview article of different theoretical currents within the decolonial tradition?

sunday funday at SOAS with @iliasalami.bsky.social and @ingridhk.bsky.social

Ingrid bu sene de Nobel ödüllerine layık görülen yaklaşımların kör avrupa-merkezci kökenlerine doğru bir yolculuk yapmış. Abartılı övgülerden sıkılanları meseleyi on ikiden vuran bu yazıya bekleriz.

This is a really good article from @ingridhk.bsky.social and helps you understand a little bit more about the Eurocentric nature of mainstream economics. #EconSky

My analysis of his year's Economics Nobel is out in EPW! What's wrong with the Economics Nobel this time around? I've written a little commentary arguing that the Prize rewards Eurocentric foundations for (innovation-driven) growth and supports a technology fetish. PDF: ingridhk.com/wp-content/u...

Now that election season is over, Norway again shows its true imperial face: Ethical guidelines for the Sovereign Wealth Fund to be loosened because of fear that they'll *actually* safeguard against investment in genocide. www.ft.com/content/12a5...

The Norwegian Petroleum Museum in Stavanger: good on history of politics & econ of industry but ends on a fantasy note: techno-optimist, green growth, no mention renewables being additive + crazy focus on individual action for climate change 🫣 State/Petroleum ideology in action?

Exciting book launch with @cacrisalves.bsky.social @ingridhk.bsky.social @surbhikesar.bsky.social and @devikadutt.bsky.social at our very own @soaseconomics.bsky.social

Once again the Econ Nobel is announced just in time for the week in @devikadutt.bsky.social & my module where we study the development of capitalism. And once again it confirms to students that prevailing understandings of growth in Econ are thoroughly Eurocentric (esp Mokyr in most blatant way)!

This is as close as they could get to actually giving the prize to Trump

So grossed out by the lack of critique of the Peace Prize among Norwegian commentators in years like this when the prize's support for US (imperial) interests is so incredibly explicit 🫣

BREAKING: Over a thousand people gather in Trafalgar Square to oppose genocide and the Palestine Action ban. Police have already started arresting peaceful protestors under the Terrorism Act for silently holding signs which say "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"

It was really engaging to think about imperialism with Costas Lapavitsas and Claude Serfati at Historical Materialism this summer - with a lively French audience! Promising that so many young people are interested in Marxism and (anti-)imperialism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLwW...

In our podcasts we like to recommend books and here are some of our recommendations from our latest, including books by Nancy Folbre, Marilyn Waring, @devikadutt.bsky.social @ingridhk.bsky.social, @cacrisalves.bsky.social, @surbhikesar.bsky.social, @timjackson.org.uk & @clubofrome.org. #EconSky

Don’t miss this fantastic piece by Carla Coburger tracing the origins of today’s currency hierarchy back to the violent imposition of imperial money! Just out in @ripejournal.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

@cacrisalves.bsky.social @devikadutt.bsky.social @surbhikesar.bsky.social @ingridhk.bsky.social I am looking forward to what will likely be my book of the year. Maybe after it's finished I can ship it across the pond for signatures? This has been a long time coming!

This is an important article highlighting blind spots in how economists understand colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism. Thank you @ingridhk.bsky.social!

Excellent from @ingridhk.bsky.social on @thomaspiketty.bsky.social & Nievas' foray into unequal exchange www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives...

Channeling my anger at how colonialism & imperialism in understood in Economics (exemplified by Nievas and Piketty's recent paper) into a 4500 word long essay 🤓 (Thanks @ineteconomics.bsky.social!)

Nievas and Piketty’s “unequal exchange” that shows how treating colonialism as a pricing problem—rather than a system of social relations and production power—leads to modest market fixes that miss the engine of uneven development @ingridhk.bsky.social www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives...
