economic democracy, social theory & global finance
About
Why does global finance worsen social inequality, increase macroeconomic instability and hasten the degradation of the climate? And how might democratic processes be created for investing for the social and environmental good?
I am a social theorist that works on solving these intertwined dilemmas through scholarship and political activism. To rebuild our systems of investment and debt allocation, we need to create institutions that enhance economic democracy.
