Here is my contribution to @WorldDevJournal symposium on RCTs and poverty alleviation While agreeing with critics that RCTs promote 'small thinking' I argue that 'small' questions are important so long as we can provide 'big' answers to them 1/3

If Twitter goes down, I guess I'll miss it as it's been a great source of information for me. But the joy of seeing Twitter employees standing up to this bully of an employer will be bigger - hope not a single one of them will stay. #StandUpTwitterEmployees

My article on work/food/gender in Mozambique is now in print. It looks at informal work and gendered cycles of food insecurity, and develops a critique of instrumentalist approaches to gender equality for well-being.

As with every crisis in capitalism, there are some winners (left) and some losers (right). Let's be very clear about this, especially when it is suggested that the losers' demands will make things worse.

The racist double standards of international development @AJEnglish 'For 500 years, capital has relied on the devaluation of lives in the global South [...] The $1.90 line [...] is part of a colonial ideology that sees people of colour as cheap.'

'For Gramsci [...] one went up to the working class.' Gramsci's close relationship with the working classes in the factories of Turin is one of the most inspiring traits of his biography.

Remembering Antonio Gramsci

Antonio Gramsci died on this day in 1937. We remember his revolutionary life and his contributions to the struggle against capitalism.

Yes, I think this is a problem and we should learn how to use Global South lenses to think about economic issues. But there is *SO MUCH* work in feminist (political) econ on/from the periphery - I'd say more than in most other econ branches - so important to look at entire field.

Is this a problem? Reading a book on feminist economics. Quite nice: but-- *all* examples of writers, problems, data, issues are from US, UK and France. If we want to extend economics & be inclusive should we include more than three countries?
