Decolonized Narratives in Political Economy: Alternative Perspectives from the Global South

What are the narratives that are underrepresented in the history of economic thought? How do economists explain freedom, justice, and democracy in non-Western cultures? How are ideas disseminated in non-English speaking countries? What are the political and intellectual challenges in the colonized world?

In this workshop on decolonized political economy, researchers, (mainly) from the Global South, will present alternative narratives about markets, governments, and social classes. During the workshop, the aim is to abandon monist narratives in economics and engage in a pluralist conversation about ignored scholarship that has theoretical and practical significance today.
