How the legacies of empire continue to shape the world w/ Kojo Koram
Added 2022-03-30 09:38:41 +0000 UTCKojo Koram returns to PTO to talk about his new book, Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire. We chatted about how the British empire and its legacy continues to structure the UK and world economies, and why the supposed opposition between critics of Britain's imperial inheritance and the material concerns of ordinary working class people - ignores the way the economic innovations of empire and decolonisation - from tax havens and outsourcing, to the corporate form, itself - continue to structure all of our lives.

Great stuff! Sandra Halperin writes about global development using an elite network model rather than a state centric one, which reveals common patterns of economic and political development in Europe and its colonies.
