Postcolonialism Meets EconomicsEiman O. Zein-Elabdin, S. Charusheela In the last half century, economics has taken over from anthropology the role of drawing the powerful conceptual worldviews that organize knowledge and inform policy in both domestic and international contexts. Until now however, the colonial roots of economic theory have remained relatively unstudied. This book changes that. |
