New commentary on anthropology, economics and finance

I just published my commentary on Caroline E. Schuster’s excellent new article Politics of pools in Current Anthropology. See the commentary here.

This exchange was a part of a project organized by Gustav Peebles, Richard McGahey, Teresa Ghilarducci and Danilyn Rutherford and it culminated in two special issues, one in Current Anthropology (see here) and one in Review of Political Economy (see here), where each anthropology article comes with a commentary by an economist and vice versa. The overarching theme for all the contributions is Scarcity and Abundance in an Unequal World. In my contribution to ROPE, I partnered with an actual anthropologist to write The Hierarchies of Global Finance: An Anti-Disciplinary Research Agenda.

New chapter/afterword: The Relevance of Global Capitalism for Studying Statecraft and Financial Subordination

I wrote the afterword to this interesting new book edited by Johannes Petry and Andreas Nölke: State, Capitalism, and Finance in Emerging Markets: Between Subordination and Statecraft.

Have a read of the afterword here. I also wrote a little thread summarizing some of my points you can see on X/twitter or Bluesky.
