It's the last day of @hetecon 's #AHE2023 , and @srishting presents on gender in petty commodity production. Feminist economics show that reproductive labor is pushed out of productive units onto households. However, PCP happens in the household, so patriarchy has to get creative.

Eternally grateful for the existence of Krishna Bharadwaj and the department she created - Centre for Economic Studies and Planning (CESP) at JNU. Probably the only Econ dept in India founded by a woman, and what a woman.

Many concerns about the 2022-23 budget (is this really the time for purely supply side measures and strict adherence to fiscal deficit containment, etc) but I have to say, taxing crypto is a good thing.

I love @SonaldeDesai ’s threads because they reveal the messiness of field-based data collection and the fuzzy boundaries of empirical categories.

Whenever I see an academic lauded for publishing '500 papers' (or whatever), these days my mind turns to all the colleagues who sucked up teaching and admin so that the chosen one could focus on research. They own those papers.

Excellent rebuttal to T. Roy’s dogged defence of British Raj by my colleague Tamoghna Halder. Those interested in economic history, colonialism, and a good showdown, give this a read.

NEW POST: Prof @RoyHistory1 has recently sought to destroy claims that British colonial policies caused famines in India. Tamoghna Halder fact checks each of Roy's points, finds multiple mistakes. Roy's defense of colonialism seems to be on shaky ground.

Idk who needs to hear this but having a (grossly underpaid, lower caste, possibly immigrant) maid/nanny do the bulk of household social reproduction so the woman of the house can do a job/run a business and be financially independent is not going to dismantle the patriarchy.

At the New School, two visions are colliding: one of its student body and faculty who want to keep true to the university's progressive history, and the other of its administration, who want to trim it down to only those parts which pay the most.
