Public Engagement

Media

I write and comment on politics, business, and economic policy for general audiences. Academic research matters most when it reaches beyond the academy.

Where I Write

I've contributed commentary and analysis to publications in the US, UK, and Europe—on topics ranging from financial regulation and corporate power to healthcare politics and cryptocurrency.
