The book makes three related arguments (1/6)

Thanks, Asim. For all of us, that urge came from a conviction that the only school of economics compatible with a development studies programme is heterodox economics. Ha-Joon Chang is right up there! @RahulASirohi1 @TISSpeak

[Rahul Sirohi @RahulASirohi1]

@AsimAli6 @ramakumarr Thanks, Asim! Great being part of the TISS Dev Studies program. What passes for “economics” in many universities today is far too narrow. This needs to change. Ha-Joon Chang and others like him should be read widely in our classrooms.

US 'ceasefire' is certainly farcical, an offer that Russia can only refuse. When it does, the US and its 'allies', Canada and Europe, can all once again be on the same side. So, perhaps, the US's plan is to make Russia's refusal the platform for this much-desired rapproachment.

My new ✨ open access ✨ article “No Development (Economics or Studies) without Decolonisation” in the EJDR special issue on the Future of Development Studies is out! It is based on some of the arguments in our forthcoming book “Decolonising Economics” https://t.co/fuVa47jIjc

@bejoykt Sad state. Goes to show just how (geo)political knowledge creation actually is. You should name and tag the journal. Atrocious! Sorry its happened to you. Having been at the receiving end of this kind of rubbish I fully identify with your frustration.

The IIT Tirupati-CRISP workshop was held from Nov 7-9, 2024 at the IIT Tirupati Campus. The workshop introduced participants to crucial issues in public policy making in India. It was a wonderful experience to coordinate this program #publicpolicy #crisp #iittirupati

[IIT Tirupati @iit_tirupati]

Work Shop on Public Policies in Practice @iit_tirupati on Nov 7th - 9th 2024.

@sorenmau Lenin's Electoral Strategy from Marx and Engels Through the Revolution of 1905 by August Nimtz and
Insurgent Universality: An Alternative Legacy of Modernity By Massimiliano Tomba

[Rahul Sirohi @RahulASirohi1]

@ramakumarr Yes excellent piece. I wrote a paper for @epw_in (when I was at TISS Mumbai) 7 years ago in which I critiqued the AJR framework. Dr. Kohli had graciously read it and given me his feedback. It may be of interest to you https://t.co/7b63MCIppu

[Rahul Sirohi @RahulASirohi1]

@ingridharvold @Lauan_al @richten_nach At the risk of self-promotion, my critique on NIE's framework of colonialism that appeared in epw deals with some of these issues you have pointed to: https://t.co/7b63MCIppu

[Rahul Sirohi @RahulASirohi1]

AJR's earliest work emerged at a time where the US had invaded Iraq and Afghanistan; None of this found mention in their writings. Today as the grotesqueness of imperialism is at display once again, AJR's silences are a grim reminder of the limits of mainstream dev econ. (6/6)

[Rahul Sirohi @RahulASirohi1]

AJR win the Nobel Prize. Although this is a welcome recognition of the centrality of development economics in our times, but ultimately it is also telling of the kind of Eurocentric/Colonial assumptions that remain deeply embedded in the economics today. (1/6)

[Rahul Sirohi @RahulASirohi1]

Second, they theorize colonialism as a historical accident/shock thus delinking it completely from the theory of capitalism. This willfully ignores the long, bloody record of contemporary imperialism and neocolonialism. (5/6)

[Alex M. Thomas @alexmthomas]

In this @epw_in comment, I clarify the Sraffa-Keynes synthesis & argue that it enables the extension of the principle of effective demand to the long run.

Things that researchers from the global South systematically face are vetted by serious research! The bigger problem is that unlike other social sciences, economics as a discipline does not even admit the problem!
