The deliberate destruction of the Palestinian education system threatens the future for Palestinian children, teenagers, and adults. It damages international educational advancement, robbing the world of the vital contributions of Palestinian researchers, thinkers, and educators. The failure of the international community to respond has led to a growing normalisation of scholasticide. This reflects a deeper crisis in our global values.

When it comes to #climatebreakdown mainstream econ is failing us. Read the new @Economists4Future blog on why mainstream econ needs to respond to criticism and update its approach: bit.ly/3D7Uwj5

Evidence, if you ever needed it, of mainstream economics' breadth without depth. Colonial institutions extracted value and wealth from the Global South, forming the basis of Global North prosperity. This work depoliticises the historical process of decolonisation and distorts the contemporary relationship between developing economies and global financial institutions in perpetuating global inequality and debt. We need to roll back this assumption that economic development comes with the importation of western, capitalist institutions and engage with the core questions of political economy and history that are at the heart of economic development. #EconTwitter #NobelEconomia #NobelPrize
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James A. Robinson “for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity.” #NobelPrize
