Decolonising Development Studies should not be understood as a call for inclusion alone. (...) Rather, it is about transforming the field’s core assumptions and confronting the power relations that underpin them. ✍️ Our latest blog by @devikadutt.bsky.social www.developmentresearch.eu?p=2509

This is really good news for Thames Water customers. Predatory KKR was so bad they were nicknamed "Barbarians at the gate" in the US. It is time the government stopped dithering and took Thames Water into public ownership. It's what 82% of the public wants.

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

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!

Just 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.

More horror. The moment the 🇮🇱 IDF targeted the tents of displaced families in an area it had labeled as "safe" in the al-Mawasi area of #KhanYounis , southern #Gaza Strip. Over 20 Palestinians have been killed so far, mostly children.

Things always become more clear when reading Marx. Here he argues that bourgeois culture produces its antithesis in the form of anti-industrial romanticism (that doesn't threaten capitalism as it's rooted in a past that never was). An early critique of decolonial theory!
