- 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 :)

- 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?

- 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)!

- 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 🫣

- 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...

- Great systematic take-down of the polycrisis concept from a Marxist perspective. Callum Cant shows how analyses of polycrisis repress structural explanations, analyse data from the implicit standpoint of the bourgeois state, and discount class struggle. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

- Really nice critique of the idea of 'sub-imperialism' being a theoretically/political useful way to describe South Africa's role in Southern Africa. Michael Nassen Smith builds his critique via his empirical analysis of South African mining in Zambia. sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- Join us for a discussion in Johannesburg next week :)
- Kevin Okoth is sharp as always in the @lrb.co.uk: He breaks down Achille Mbembe's influences, contributions, and his complicated relationship to postcolonial & anticolonial thought. Also, his weird relationship to France. Gets more critical towards the end. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
- What's the problem with Nievas & Piketty's understanding of unequal exchange, colonialism and, implicitly, imperialism? I break down their theory & empirics here in this podcast, and lay out what gets lost when you focus on flows over social relations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsIK...
