"[This book] stands out in historically situating the most fertile period of Marxist dependency theory in the rise of Allende’s government in Chile... A perspective that is indispensable for organized resistance struggles in the 21st century."
—John Bellamy Foster

The GDP Center mourns the loss of Perry Mehrling, an economist and distinguished scholar with long-lasting contributions to the economics field.
As a professor at @BUPardeeSchool and a core faculty member of the GDP Center, Dr. Mehrling's impact was prolific. He developed and named the "money view" that helped economists, policymakers and students understand how global financial system works.
Perry Mehrling was a valued member of the BU community and beyond. He will be sorely missed, but his highly influential body of work and reputation will ensure his legacy endures.

New interview! Andrew Anastasi and I discuss the emotional logic of insurance and how racial capitalism is being misconstrued in the present -- as made manifest in some reviews of my book. Grateful for this collaboration between @LPEblog and @HPE_Project
Today, @andrewanastasi and @benchansfield discuss the wave of landlord-perpetrated arson during the 1970s, how residents organized to stop it, and what this tells us about the ongoing interplay between property and racial capitalism.
