About Critical Perspectives
"The task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees. " - Arthur Schopenhauer
Critical Perspectives is the leading independent newsletter analysing how global wealth and power reshape cities, communities, and borders. Combining decolonial theory, forensic geography, and narrative storytelling, it exposes the hidden systems mainstream commentary ignores, offering forensic breakdowns of billionaire secession, gentrification, and wealth chains, and connecting theories (like decolonial thought) to today’s crises in plain language. Some writing is AI-assisted because effective tools get used - the research and analysis are mine.
Written by an academic with a Global South lens, this newsletter bridges rigorous research and accessible analysis, serving critical thinkers (who sense the system is rigged), scholars, activists, curious members of the public and policymakers from around the world.
Join over 3000 readers in 141 countries, from university classrooms to frontline movements, who rely on this newsletter to help them decode how power actually works.
