Reviews

“A timely and long-awaited book produced by a brilliant quartet of leading economists.” Ndongo Samba Sylla, International Development Economics Associates and coauthor of Africa’s Last Colonial Currency “In this highly intelligent and rigorous book, the authors critically examine the Eurocentric nature of mainstream economics and discuss how the discipline can be 'decolonized' from its conceptual foundation so that it serves all humanity, rather than the interests of rich countries and a small group of global elites. It is a timely and courageous book that will fundamentally change the way we see the world.” Ha-Joon Chang, SOAS University of London, and author of Economics: The User's Guide and Edible Economics
