"In many [developing economies], rather than being perceived merely as a prop to economic development, financial sectors have increasingly become key targets on their own of development-oriented policymaking." @florence_dafe @LenaRethel https://t.co/wkhAflxdkf

I’m excited to share this new paper we have out, “Imperialist appropriation in the world economy”. The results confirm that the global North relies on a massive net appropriation of resources and labour from the South. The figures are quite staggering. 🧵https://t.co/FWDS4jUTaG
