New article! How is finance ‘raced’, and why is this the case? With what consequences for our understandings of race, finance, and capitalism?
To explore this, we develop a 'raced finance' analytic, grounded in political economy and racial capitalism debates. Link 👇🏾and 🧵:

New article on @antipode out with @BernardsNick and Laura Quinteros. We look at green finance technologies (AI screening, tokenization, gamification) to show how green finance works as fictitious capital. Not just pricing nature, but circulating it as capital.

New article!

@GiuliaDalMaso, Laura Quinteros and I on experiments with ‘green fintech’, and what they tell us about green finance as a form of fictitious capital.

I'm really pleased with our essay in the new volume of the Socialist Register. In it, we challenge arguments that Trump emerged from capitalism's decline into "techno-feudalism", "political capitalism", or an "asset economy" driven by central banks inflating asset prices.

New article!

I write about what to make of the echoes between present-day projects of 'financial inclusion' and colonial statecraft.

Highly recommend this book for those interested in questions of post-colonial capitalism, and questions of (non) transition, hegemony, passive revolution.

New article in @RIPEJournal w/ @hancheng_528 and @SebHaug on China's new Global Development Initiative (GDI). We contend that it is a case of institutional layering that is part of China's broader counter-hegemonic strategy. Open access too! https://t.co/W77Z7d1dLB

Excited to share our new article in HM with Sam Salour on Brenner/Wood (PM) and the politics of imperialism and eurocentrism!

Hopefully this will allow for a better debate than that provoked by Chibber’s recent Jacobin article…

The systemic and historical role of sanctions is vast and debilitating to ALL Global South countries. The International Development Complex plays a vital role in sustaining the US-led sanctions regime. My article at @MidEastCritique. #openaccess
