My analysis of his year's Economics Nobel is out in EPW! What's wrong with the Economics Nobel this time around? I've written a little commentary arguing that the Prize rewards Eurocentric foundations for (innovation-driven) growth and supports a technology fetish. PDF: ingridhk.com/wp-content/u...

And gift shop just full of dinosaurs (??), science toys, "oil kid" T-shirts and somehow not a single one of the critical books on the oil industry from recent years. The playground's made of oil rigs and kids can put oil worker clothes on while they play. Getting them early! 😅

The Norwegian Petroleum Museum in Stavanger: good on history of politics & econ of industry but ends on a fantasy note: techno-optimist, green growth, no mention renewables being additive + crazy focus on individual action for climate change 🫣 State/Petroleum ideology in action?

A graph from the Nievas & Piketty paper that has gotten less attention: Today, only Norway matches the level of foreign wealth of the Netherlands in the colonial period 👀

The book is a welcome effort at exploring how IFS shapes states today. As one of the authors of the IFS paper drawn on (👇) it's cool to see the agenda employed! @cacrisalves.bsky.social

International NGOs largely continue to support a Eurocentric framework for development, even as they claim to be "decolonising" their practices. @surbhikesar.bsky.social and I explain our research on the Reimagining Development podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/36yd...

- processes demonstrate non-linerarity, in contrast to Eurocentric expectations. Development process has been uneven, patchy & crisis-prone; cyclical patterns emerge. Cyclicality here is not mere repetition, but mutation of patterns of accumulation w/in an evolving global system.

I trace Ghana's mining policy in particular as Ghanaian regulatory framework has come to represent a "gold standard" for others to follow since its first mining law in 1986. I then also demonstrate how Eurocentrism is reflected in each generation of global mining policies.

Exciting keynote with Jayati Ghosh, at the Associação Portuguesa de Economia Política, arguing that the logic of capitalism is incompatible with substantive democracy; that it fundamentally erodes it.

It's our first time at AHE having streams organized by members of the hetecon community. The submissions were incredible and more than we could accommodate. See a snippet of all the streams here (just missing the Fem Econ stream). The AHE 2025 conference looks promising ☺️

I know Norwegians don't like to be associated with so-called 'failed' oil states but this book/analysis resonates a lot with the Norwegian discourse on the "oil fairytale" (as it's called in Norwegian) 😬

Heard some great interviews with the translators of the new translation of Marx's Capital Vol 1 this past month.
Wondering if anyone has done an interview with critics of the new translation? Or seen a written critique?
(I've seen the vague critiques on X)

Things always become more clear when reading Marx. Here he argues that bourgeois culture produces its antithesis in the form of anti-industrial romanticism (that doesn't threaten capitalism as it's rooted in a past that never was). An early critique of decolonial theory!
