‘Decolonial Narratives in Economics offers alternative perspectives to challenge mainstream rhetoric in economics that ignores the existence and significance of colonialism in knowledge production. Moving beyond monist narratives, authors engage in a pluralist conversation on ignored scholarships in the field that have theoretical and practical significance today. Expanding the scope of decoloniality in economics, the book questions coloniality as a research practice to better understand how it operates and to develop strategies to address the ethical issues associated with it. Ultimately, this book initiates a dialogue with authors who produce decolonial narratives within or about the nations and cultures that are underrepresented in economics. Decolonial Narratives in Economics is an essential read for students and scholars of development economics, economic history, and political, radical and feminist economies, as well as politics, sociology, philosophy and cultural and indigenous studies.’
