What does racism have to do with our 21st century economic system? How can we understand institutions who uphold racism while claiming to value diversity and inclusion? And what does it mean to truly be anti-racist? In this podcast, Ayeisha Thomas-Smith is joined by Arun Kundnani to discuss his new book, What Is Antiracism?: And Why It Means Anticapitalism.

Comment from our editors:

The podcast criticises liberal understandings of racism that only focus on the biases and prejudices of the individual. Instead, Arun Kundnani emphasises the structural basis of racism, namely the unequal distribution of resources. The podcast explains how racism plays an important role in maintaining economic exploitation and shows the link between racism, colonialism and capitalism. In doing so, Kundnani criticises both Marxists, who neglect the role of racism, and liberal anti-racism, which ignores economic issues. The podcast can be recommended to anyone looking for an easily understandable introduction to racial capitalism.

Zentralbankkooperation funktioniert – für manche
Die internationale makrofinanzielle Architektur erlitt im März 2020 einen Schock: Nachdem globale Lieferketten geschlossen wurden, froren Offshore Geldmärkte ein. Die wichtigen Zentralbanken reagierten schnell und beliehen sich gegenseitig mit Währung.

Statistics for Feminists
Getting to the policy discussion table is one of the objectives pursued by feminist scholars and advocates. However, some participants in this process have remarked that “you cannot get to the policy discussion table until you have proven that you can crunch the numbers.”

Decolonizing Economics
The premise of this workshop is that we, as knowledge producers - especially within westernized universities (Grosfoguel, 2013), are significantly implicated in neoliberal imaginaries that are often in service of hierarchical, binary, competitive and linear narratives of growth as civilizational progress.

A holistic theory of financialisation
The concept of financialisation has undergone a similar career as ‘globalisation’, ‘neoliberalism’ or even ‘capitalism’, in the course of which it changed from the explanandum to the explanans; the process of financialisation is taken for granted, while the concrete historical and empirical causal conditions of its realisation and perpetuation are being moved into the background.

De-risking, de-coupling, de-globalization?
The term "de-risking" can be seen as one element of a strategy aimed at discursively reframing the trade policy confrontation with China. This confrontation has mainly been driven by the US in recent years and received initially cautious, but later growing support from the EU.
