Personal biography: I was born in England where I lived and was educated until 1996. On completing my Ph.D. in that year, I moved to Germany and lived in Berlin before taking up university appointment at Witten/Herdecke and Erfurt. I came to York in 2006 and I am associated with the Business & Society undergraduate programme and the Social and Political Thought graduate programme.

Research interests: My research focuses on most aspects of the relationship between philosophy and economics, be it from the perspective of the philosophy of science, ethics or political philosophy. I am also interested in various figures from the history of social and political thought, e.g., Aristotle, Hobbes, Marx, Keynes, Hayek. Recently I have contributed to the revival and development of the “Chartalist” theory of money.
