For those of you who missed it, many of the videos from #AHE2020 are now up on @hetecon's YouTube channel.
youtube.com/channel/UCrha0…

Hope it will inspire many of you to join the heterodox economics movement (and maybe even AHE??) 😊
Opening plenary on #COVID19, Capitalism and the Environment, featuring the brilliant @JKSteinberger @jasonhickel and Chantal Naidoo, chaired by @danielle_guizzo.
I had the pleasure of chairing the panel on Heterodox Economics Globally with inspiring talks captured here by @nssylla and @Drsaalajeng (but unfortunately the beginning of Rama's got lost!).
@SMouatt chaired the timely session on Heterodox Perspectives on COVID-19, with @medha_as @RVijayamba @Patrick_M_Econ & Alicia Girón. Topics ranged from local COVID19 responses, to financial governance, to agent-based models of inequalities after covid19.
How do we teach heterodox economics? This was a very lively discussion chaired by @andmearman, featuring insights from @mmmgroenewald, Ioana Negru, Juan David Parra, @JohnKomlos, and @danielle_guizzo.
What are challenges associated with funding health and social policies? In this interesting session, @apguidolin presented on healthcare in Brazil and @Geoff_Crocker on Basic Income and Sovereign Money. I had the pleasure of chairing it.
The session on Racism, Sexism and Development was incredibly rich, with presentations by Cristina Fróes de Borja Reis, @SurbhiKesar and @retepelyod. Chaired by @alexarntsen.
The YSI (@ysi_commons) session on Pluralism and Global South Perspectives in Economics was also a great contribution to the conference. Chaired by @ndvoskin, with presentations by @BarkinCihanli and Leandro Bona.
The History of Econ session was mostly a Marxist session, with @nicolasaaguila & Karen Petersen presenting on Marx’s theory of money, but from different angles, and Juan Santarcángelo presenting on Marxian development theory. Chaired by @danielle_guizzo.
The session on COVID-19 and the Global South was also incredibly rich, with presentations by Salimah Valiani, @nith1989, Nithya Joseph, and Sonia C. López Cerón, providing perspectives from India, South Africa and Colombia. Chaired by @alexarntsen.
The session on Macro & Finance chaired by @andmearman featured interesting analyses by @devikadutt on the International Lender of Last Resort, Davide Villani on the External Financial Dependence index & Monika Meireles on financial regionalization.
I particularly had an awesome time chairing this panel organized by @maxajl on how (post)colonial theory is needed to make sense of & to offer alternatives to regnant patterns of accumulation & dispossession Ft. Ibrahim Shikaki, Divya Sharma, & Max himself.
Finally, the closing plenary co-organized by @ysi_commons and chaired by @SurbhiKesar was brilliant and inspiring, featuring excellent presentations by Prabhat Patnaik, @LuGuangMing and @ymadra.

Here is our commentary on how the 2024 Economics Nobel integrates colonialism into economics, while leaving a colonial worldview intact (with @SurbhiKesar & @devikadutt). To explain how & why they do this, we go back to the colonial origins of economics. epw.in/journal/2024/4…Image
As Econ is increasingly being challenged for not adequately dealing with issues of racialization & imperialism, the "colonial turn" in economics that AJR represent seems to offer a defense. But they don't deal with the fundamental problem: the Eurocentric view of capitalism.
A Eurocentric view is one that assumes the development of capitalism evolved in the global North in a rational manner, based on a range of internal factors, distracting from the violent processes of exploitation & colonial extraction that shaped development & underdevelopment.

What's wrong with development studies & how can we change it?

It was super interesting & thought-provoking to discuss this with @SaraStevano @Kamnatweets and @IndrajitRoyYork recently in Manchester.

We summarized the discussion on the @devcomms blog 👇
devstud.org.uk/2023/03/07/wha…
After the intro by @pritishbehuria & @GoodfellowTom (linked to above), you can read the interventions summarized in chronological order.

I was up first, focusing my intervention on the problem of lack of South-centered theorisation in development studies
devstud.org.uk/2023/02/28/the…
Next up was @Kamnatweets, calling for a deliberate deconstruction of our projections of 'development', picking apart the 'black box' & reckoning with the range of political causes UK Development Studies programmes serve, intentionally or unintentionally,

Our paper on decolonizing economics teaching is finally out!

@SurbhiKesar & I surveyed 498 economists to evaluate possibilities and challenges associated with efforts to decolonize economics.

As you may imagine, the results are not super encouraging...🧵
tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Building on scholarship by Amin, Quijano, Sanyal, and feminist IPE, we see a radical decolonization agenda as one necessitates unpacking how dominant approaches may hinder the study of systemic processes associated with decolonization, such as structural racism and imperialism.
This entails analyzing and challenging Eurocentrism in economics, but also seeking to foreground theoretical frameworks which might be more useful for studying systemic processes that lead to various form of subordination.

Economists can learn from anthropologists.

I mean it! And not in a "they provide valuable context for our research" kind of way.

Anthro can help us understand financial processes & structures of oppression. Anthro can help us theorise.

How do key arguments in the financialization literature change if they are interrogated from the vantage point of the Global South?

@KaiKodden @nssylla and I tackle this question through a historical study of the financial systems of Senegal & Ghana. 🧵👇
academic.oup.com/cje/advance-ar…
We engage with 2 main camps in the financialisation lit: 1) largely descriptive studies of how financial institutions, actors, motives & practices have expanded in recent decades (e.g. Krippner, Epstein), focusing on quantitative changes.
We call it the 'expansion' view.
2) More qualitative studies of how finance has come to dominate other realms of the economy, which often see the productive marriage between finance and production as in severe crisis, as the golden age of capitalism has come to an end. We call it the 'divorce' view.

What happens when 7 scholars from different heterodox traditions, including Marxism, Post-Keynesianism & Dependency Theory, get together to work on finance?

It actually did not descend into total chaos 🤯

Check out our research agenda on international financial subordination 😊
We identify how different heterodox & disciplinary traditions bring different strengths to the table for conceptualising how developing economies remain in a subordinate position in the global monetary and financial system, and how this shapes the ways in which finance operates.
We argue that an agenda on international financial subordination (IFS) would benefit from a sustained engagement with heterodox traditions that have been the most explicit and systematic in their analysis of finance in the periphery: Marxist, PK & dependency theory scholarship.
