There's been little acknowledgement but Susan George (political scientist as Wikipedia have it, or political economist, as I would prefer) passed on 14th February.

I've seen no obituaries, but here is her Wikipedia entry which included the long list of her excellent & insightful books... many of which were always on my reading lists
I'm sure the lack of obits has nothing to do with her being a women or a critique of global capitalism. /s

@ChrisMayLA6 @AnnPettifor That is sad. I still have Ill Fares The Land as well A Fate Worse Than Debt on my book shelves. She certainly influenced me.

@ChrisMayLA6 @AnnPettifor Capitalism appears to lurch from one crisis to the next and appears to believe all stand alone businesses should be profitable except this is not the case. Mix that in with the desperate search for eternal growth and we’ve got the mess we are now in. Add robots (which are getting better and better) and everything will fall apart. An alternative is essential and it’s not slavery!

Well partly because I used it in my last book project (before I retired) and its something I still write about, I'd recommend Shadow Sovereigns which is about global corporations - is as good a place to start with her work as any
