Dutt, Alves, Kesar and Kvangraven uncover the deeply Eurocentric foundations of the economics discipline that fundamentally shape how economists study the world today. These have rendered the discipline ill-equipped to tackle critical questions of our time, such as structural racism, uneven development, the climate crisis, labour relations, and how structural power shapes economic outcomes. Decolonizing economics entails challenging the norms of neutrality and objectivity that economists claim to speak from, while fostering alternative ways of understanding the economy that take seriously the problematic dynamics of structural power relations and contemporary processes of economic growth and development. Readers will come to understand the political stakes of decolonization and the wide range of scholarship that already exists that can help us grasp economics from non-Eurocentric perspectives. Through such scholarship, we can gain an enriched understanding of capitalism and its relationship to exploitation, colonialism, and racialization.
