Teaching
My teaching interests range across political theory, political economy, and economic history. In political theory, my teaching strengths are the post-Rawlsian debates in anglophone analytical theory as well as late-18th and 19th century British, French, and German political thought. In political economy, I enjoy teaching the classical economists from Smith to Marx, as well as Polanyi, Schumpeter, Hayek and Keynes. In economic history, my teaching focuses on the Atlantic world’s monetary and financial history in the 20th century, from the Gold Standard via Bretton Woods to the offshore dollar system, and on the broader economic (and political) history of the 1970s.
At Yale, I taught the senior seminar Classics of Ethics, Politics and Economics. Before that, I served as teaching fellow for Moral Foundations of Politics (with Ian Shapiro), Strategic Models of Politics (with Milan Svolik), and as head teaching fellow for Capitalism and its Critics (with Douglas Rae). At the Royal Academy of Belgium I gave lectures on public investors and their role in transitioning Western economies towards sustainability.
