Excited to share my new article on the search for an anthropological economics in the @ReviewofPE. It's part of an exciting (forthcoming) special issue edited by Santiago J. Gahn & Sylvio Kappes, marking 65 years of Sraffa's Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities (1/5)

Delighted to share my latest publication, “Between Marxism, Islam and Left Catholicism: Mamadou Dia Revisited". It explores the socio-economic thought of Mamadou Dia, independent Senegal’s first Prime Minister, & in particular his conceptions of African Socialism & cooperativism.

It features as a chapter in “For a Social Ecological Transformation: Transversal dialogue between Christians and Marxists starting from Laudato si’” @cittanuova_it (eds Raul Buffo and Federico Rovea). Also includes fascinating contributions from Michael Löwy, Anna Preiser...

Encouraging evidence that at least some economists - albeit especially the somewhat heterodox ones that read ROPE - might be interested in what anthropologists might have to say after all. Vive le dialogue! (3/3)

[Isaac Stanley @isaacmstanley]

Fruitful dialogue across disciplines can be hard to find. Many of my fellow anthropologists are resigned to the conclusion that economists have little interest in anthropological perspectives on economic life. (1/3)

Given this, it's nice to see that my recent piece “Oikos and surplus: the Search for an Anthropological Economics”, is currently listed as the “most read” article published in Review of Political Economy (ROPE) over the past year. (2/3)

How do we shake off the shackles of "homo economicus" and reckon with the messy, deeply human realities of economic life? Our open-access article of the week argues for a renewed "anthropological economics."

Finally, I ask what this “anthropological economics” might bring to the broader struggle for a ‘human economy’, directed towards human wellbeing rather than merely material abundance. (4/5)

Amazing to me that some people reading Matt's post of MacIntyre's famous barb that dying for the "nation-state" is like dying for the "telephone company" cannot in humility accept that MacIntyre was scathingly critical of nationalism.

It was a pleasure presenting last week at the brilliant @ABA_AAA “Anthropology & the Black Experience” conference @mcndakar. My paper explored the thought of Senegalese intellectual Mamadou Dia, & its implications for rethinking the relationship of anthropology & Africa. (1/3)

Wonderful to be surrounded by so many inspiring scholars from across Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, North America, Europe & beyond. Lots of inspiring conversations with friends old & new, in the conference rooms, on the beach, and on the dancefloor 🔥 (2/3) #ABA2025
