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.

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

Trevor Phillips grilling Rachel Reeves felt pointless. What was the point?
Why do journalists hunt for hits instead of doing real interviews? Journalists chasing “gotcha” moments instead of actually interviewing is exhausting.

If 1000 billion dollars for a single human beings work really makes you think about the labor theory of economic value AND the madness of economic reason, do I have the essay for you by @cacrisalves.bsky.social. What Would Marx say?

Weekend read?
In honour of D Harvey’s birthday, I revisit Marx, Capital & the Madness of Economic Reason. I challenge the ‘polycrisis’ narrative, focus on capital & use a physics analogy to explain value.
Happy birthday, David Harvey! 🎉🎂
