Marx, 1856 (quoted in Anderson, Marx at the Margins)
Reading some original decolonial stuff for work and boy I like Dussels writing style so much more than Mignolo or Quijano. He‘s concise in his argument, discusses sources critically and makes funny remarks in the footnotes. I just can’t with the flowery prose that seems a little too prevalent today.

Every time I read analyses of informal economies that talk about "ambivalence" and that one also needs to see "the opportunities" for people engaged in them, I wonder: which opportunities? They are rarely spelled out in the empirical parts.
