#AHE2020 starting in one hour!!

Cristina Fróes de Borja Reis (et al.): The economic development of Latin America and its main problems: A Feminist Perspective

@retepelyod: Economics after Slavery

@SurbhiKesar: Economic dualism, precarity, and exclusion

@hetecon

Reis' paper rereads Prebisch's manifesto to break w/its economicism & eurocentrism. It denounces how racial & gender inequalities are at the root of the world system, mirroring the harmful relationship btwn patriarchy, racism & capitalism, which is more perverse in the periphery.

Check out a summary of @retepelyod's paper here on @NIESRorg.

Kesar's (@SurbhiKesar) paper explores the process of reproduction of economic dualism in India with capitalist development. She identifies a relatively ‘stable,’ homogeneous core existing alongside an ‘unstable,’ heterogeneous (dual) periphery.

Important presentation to be following for people interested in dependency theory & structuralism🔥 #ahe2020

Next up, super interesting work by @SurbhiKesar mapping employment transitions between sectors in India over time. She observes a continuous reproduction of non-capitalist sectors. #ahe2020

Final speaker is @retepelyod, who asks the question: what does slavery imply about the character of economics? He draws parallels to @Claudia_Sahm's recent blog post on Economics as a disgrace.

A very exciting panel on Anti-Colonial and Post-Colonial Development. Here @maxajl presenting the logic behind the panel itself. #ahe2020

@maxajl presents dependency theories as explanations of mechanisms for making underdevelopment, including drain, disarticulation, colonialism, technological & financial dependency, & global wage suppression. These will be explored in different regions during this panel. #ahe2020

Next up, Ibrahim Shikaki promises to present more of an application of dependency theory to understand the Palestinian economy. #ahe2020

Now we have Divya Sharma presenting on contemporary agroecology movements and their critics of the green revolution model of agricultural development in India. Really interesting presentation of critical accounts #ahe2020
