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…

This story might help those who struggle to understand the moral case for reparations - those who query why people today, who have had nothing themselves to do with slavery, should have any responsibility to people who were never enslaved. Conservative MP Richard Drax is worth…

So honored to share my thoughts on concrete legal methods to push for reparatory justice under international and domestic law at the #arc2023 conference convened by the @_AfricanUnion and the @GhanaPresidency in Accra. Lots of work to do!
