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.

I wonder if a movement to go analog is going to be the next trend.

Analog as a form of rebellion.

I like the idea.

"Just like how in the novel’s opening there’s this household within a village, village within an island, and island within a lake, there are...different kinds of telescoping points of views."
