  • My take: business interests do not in the main care about Pride or DEI. They care about PR.

  • Do you have a link to the Canadian polls? I'm looking on my own but I'm an analyst by both trade and inclination and I'd like to see that data.

  • We really need to avoid this thinking--again, one of Hayak's concern about this particular prize--that any of it comes down to "one person" or one set of research.

  • Ah, gotcha. We're talking at cross-purposes a bit I think.

    Thank you for being civil through this; I genuinely appreciate that and it's nice to meet someone else who cares about these issues.

  • If you'll recall I did mention that postcolonial economists have been discussing this issue.

  • As a quick semi-aside: 20 years isn't that long in academic research, and it's especially not that long when we're talking about colonialism/post-colonialism. It's a tremendous amount of time in the hard sciences I'm told but it's a mistake to apply that lens here.

  • My dude, generations historians, economists, and social critics from India and across sub-Saharan Africa have discussed these issues at length. There are libraries full of diverse works on the subject. The erasure of all that is on-brand for the Nobel Prize in Economics (which even Hayek said shouldn't exist in his own acceptance speech) and frankly on-brand for the Western academy as a whole.

  • Trio of professors win Nobel economics prize for work on post-colonial wealth

    Jump

  • I think the important bit is getting lost in the shuffle over particulars: This research and the conclusion it presents are not original to three Western men from a first-world university. They've been discussed and explored at length by the academies of the post-colonial states who are dealing with the aftereffects of their own colonial experiences. This is a Eurocentric/Western-centric move on the part of, frankly, a bunch of privileged and insulated people.

  • I think you've hit it on the head, in that it will be a question of how openly the next administration enables the horrors perpetuated by the Israeli government. What a time to be alive!

  • That is not true for the Nobel Prize in Economics, which is not one of the five official Nobel Prizes.

  • The Swedish government and the Swedish academy are notoriously myopic/tone deaf when it comes to these issues.
