- Reposted by Devika DuttIt’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!

- Reposted by Devika DuttNew article: How is the dominant approach to mining in the Econ discipline Eurocentric? What would an alternative non-Eurocentric framework look like and how does it change our understanding of mining? Tracing one mine, I try to answer these questions👇🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

- Reposted by Devika DuttJust 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.
- Excited to be a part of the discussion of Nick Bernard’s new book: Fictions of Financialization in SOAS tomorrow! Event details: www.soas.ac.uk/about/event/...

- NEON does amazing work getting progressive folks in the new economy space in the media in the UK and they are hiring!

- Spoke to @goldbergradio.bsky.social about the rise in government borrowing costs and what that means! 😊

- Our (@ingridhk.bsky.social, @surbhikesar.bsky.social, and my) commentary “The Colonial Origins of Economics” on the 2024 the Economics ‘Nobel’ has been translated into Persian! Incredibly honoured and blown away. Thank you, Ali Abbaszadeh 😀

- It’s absolutely fascinating to witness the meltdown amongst allegedly progressive econ policy wonks if you suggest that whipping up a simplistic nationalist narrative to justify public investment is maybe not such a good idea when we are dealing with the rise of the far right everywhere
- This Wednesday, join us for the third seminar in our Interrogating Development Seminar Series this term at King’s College London, with Isabelle Guérin about her new book, “The Indebted Woman”, feat.

- Reposted by Devika DuttHere's our commentary on how the 2024 Economics Nobel integrates colonialism into economics, while leaving a colonial worldview intact (w/ @surbhikesar.bsky.social & @devikadutt.bsky.social). To explain how & why they do this, we go back to the colonial origins of Econ. www.epw.in/journal/2024...
- Here’s why @ingridhk.bsky.social, @surbhikesar.bsky.social, and I think that the 2024 Economics ‘Nobel’ winning framework of understanding how institutions are formed and affect prosperity is Eurocentric, ahistorical, and wrong www.epw.in/journal/2024...

- As someone who never *really* understood statistics when I first learnt it, it was incredibly satisfying to hear from a student that he FINALLY understood key things like the Central Limit Theorem in my quant methods class 🥹🥹🥹
- If you’re in London, come to our Interrogating Development Seminar Series with Angus McNelly today on his new book: “Now we are in Power: The Politics of Passive Revolution in 21st Century Bolivia” at 16.30! Wine reception will follow the seminar! :) www.kcl.ac.uk/events/book-...
- One our (@ingridhk.bsky.social and my) students asked us today, what came of the RCTs that caused scandal & uproar due to problematic ethics? Turns out 2 out of 3 of the examples we considered are now published in the QJE, a Top 5 Econ journal🫠 so much for accountability and change
- My bus is full of people headed to the March. Ceasefire now!
