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.

Don’t compromise, Jo. AI won’t reach its full potential under the current Big Tech regime, plus no meaningful regulation & unchecked political influence. The issue isn’t just how AI is used, but who controls it and for what gain. It’s bad news all along. Yeah. it clears your data, but at what cost?

The other side is, of course - of course! - the companies making LLMs are not doing so with the goal of more easily sharing the material that people have made freely available on the web. They are doing so with the goal of enclosing it - converting the products of free human activity to commodities.

I've posted a new paper on SSRN - it argues that unless imperialism is central to our analysis of inequality and its impact on human rights, then our theory and practice remain in a blind alley - forthcoming in the Palestine Yearbook of International Law is.gd/igjgnI

I'm starting to think we need to bring back a constructive form of shame, which @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social makes a great case for in this excellent piece:

It shows more details about the books/papers you add, and allow you to read some of docs there. I’m still getting used to it.. so not I’m aware of all changes.

The changes in portion sizes, whether eating out or buying from supermarkets, are insane. It’s outrageous how much smaller things have gotten. Is there any regulation around this? @harrywallop.co.uk

Instead of judging individuals by what they contribute to society, why not judge society by what it contributes to individuals? Like, y'know, civilized people would.

Dehumanisation as policy.
It ignores people's actual lives and experiences in favour of some sick idea that migrants are just resources to be used and discarded at will.
It is incredible how Labour has become, in practice, the most anti-immigration government in decades.

“It is increasingly indefensible for news coverage of climate change not to make it clear that this crisis is driven by very specific human activities – primarily burning fossil fuels. And in second place is food, agriculture, forestry.”
