Kristin Dilani Nadarajah

I am from Norway and I have a BSc in Economics from University of York, and about to start my master's degree this fall in economics with the EPOG joint masters program. Last year I also took a course in History of Economic Thought in Mexico. I am currently enrolled in a one-year course in Media Studies at the University of Oslo. Outside university, I am active in a Norwegian environmental and development organisation, where I contribute to increasing the competence in alternative economics, both within the organisation and towards the public.

A remarkable and insightful tribute into the works of late Malawian development economist, Professor Thandika Mkandawire. Must read for anyone looking to broaden their scope of understanding development as it relates to the African continent. Level: beginner Thandika Mkandawire - A Giant of African Economic Development Dr. Grieve Chelwa Miami Institute For The Social Sciences A detailed introduction into dependency theory that rethinks its relevance to modern development challenges. 2020 Level: beginner Dependency Theory and Uneven Development Ingrid Kvangraven Crash Course Economics Hamilton argues that economics lacks the political economy context in order to understand racism, and demonstrates how racism is embedded in the political economy of America. 2020 Level: beginner How America’s Economy Runs on Racism Lynn Parramore Institute for New Economic Thinking In this podcast, Laura Basu speaks with a range of expert academics and public speakers – such as Jayati Ghosh, Yanis Varoufakis, Walden Bello, and Ashish Kothari about how the rules of the global economy are fostering the inequality and underdevelopment we see today. 2020 Level: beginner Decolonising the Global Economy Laura Basu, Jayati Ghosh, Yanis Varoufakis, Walden Bello and Ashish Kothar openDemocracy What does the financialization of housing, weakened pension rights, and land grabbing have in common with 2020's post-pandemic crisis? David Harvey explains how these are all results of the increased tendency of accumulation by dispossession, where profits today are mostly generated by dispossession after a crisis and not by production. Will governments in every part of the world be able to prevent that pattern from happening again in the near future? 2019 Level: advanced Anti-Capitalist Chronicles: Accumulation by Dispossession David Harvey Democracy at Work This fresh and unique textbook provides students and general readers with an introduction to economics from a new and much needed perspective, characterised by its uniquely pluralist, sustainable, progressive and global approach. Unlike traditional textbooks, Introducing a New Economics contains the key concepts of pluralism, sustainability and justice. It provides students with the central questions covered by economics including resources, work, employment, poverty, inequality, power, capital, markets, money, debt and value. 2015 Level: beginner Introducing a New Economics Jack Reardon, Maria Alejandra Caporale Madi, and Molly Scott Cato Pluto Press In the last half century, economics has taken over from anthropology the role of drawing the powerful conceptual worldviews that organize knowledge and inform policy in both domestic and international contexts. Until now however, the colonial roots of economic theory have remained relatively unstudied. This book changes that. 2004 Level: advanced Postcolonialism Meets Economics S. Charusheela, Eiman O. Zein-Elabdin Psychology Press This book gives a very clear overview of the history of Macroeconomics and how it has evolved. It reflects on the different perspectives and debates that have defined the field, with valuable insight into the history and theory of economic policy. 2005 Level: advanced Modern Macroeconomics Brian Snowdon and Howard Vane E. Elgar The Wealth of Ideas traces the history of economic thought, from its prehistory (the Bible, Classical antiquity) to the present day. 2005 Level: beginner The Wealth of Ideas Alessandro Roncaglia Cambridge University Press Though apparently siblings from the same family, New Keynesianism and Post-Keynesianism are completely different schools of economic thought. As to why and in what regard exactly, that is what this book is all about. While the former is the official label of the current mainstream in economic research and teaching (rather than neoclassic economics, which would be more apt a term), the latter tries to preserve the original thinking of John Maynard Keynes, but also additional ideas and concepts of all those building on his work. 2009 Level: beginner Introduction to Post-Keynesian Economics Marc Lavoie Palgrave Macmillan UK This is a revolutionary and powerfully argued feminist analysis of modern economics, revealing how woman's housework, caring of the young, sick and the old is automatically excluded from value in economic theory. An example of this pervasive and powerful process is the United Nations System of National Accounts which is used for wars and determining the balance of payments and loan requirements. 1990 Level: advanced If Women Counted Marilyn Waring HarperSanFrancisco
