Critical perspectives @UrbanDividend

Critical Perspectives is a reader-supported newsletter analysing how global wealth and power reshape cities, communities, and borders. Written from a Global South lens, it bridges decolonial theory, forensic political economy, and narrative storytelling.

What you’ll get:

- Long-form primers on the architecture of power (the ones readers restack by the hundreds),
- Short, provocative arguments you’ll want to share and argue about in the comments,
- Forensic breakdowns of extraction, billionaire secession, tax havens, and wealth chains
- Research diary entries — what I’m reading, learning, and getting wrong
- Plain-language theory connecting Fanon, Lorde, and Cabral to today’s crises

Who this is for:

Critical thinkers who sense the system is rigged. Scholars tired of academic gatekeeping. Students who want to understand how power actually works. Activists and policymakers looking for structural analysis, not performance radicalism.
