About me
My research focuses on the social costs of neoliberalism: The Social Costs of Neoliberalism (2017), social cost accounting (2021, podcast interview here), the social cost of the megamachine (2025).
Within this area of focus I also explore poetic intellection as esoteric origin of above economic knowledge: Economics and Humanities, my blog and article on Poetic Economics, and my book volume What is Heterodox Economics?.
Another major research area is the economics of K. William Kapp. (see The Kapps’ Personal Archive)
I am recipient of the 2020 Kapp Prize of the Society for Ecological Economics in Germany (Verein für Ökologische Ökonomie) and the 2009 Helen Potter Award of the Association for Social Economics.
At UWE I teach courses in applied microeconomics, ecological economics, business ethics, and the history of economic thought.
Before joining UWE in 2014 I taught economics as Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Missouri - Kansas City, and as Assistant Professor at Roanoke College, and at Dickinson College. I also held a position as Visiting Scholar at the Department of Economics at Harvard University in 2013 and at the Sorbonne - Paris in 2006. I received my PhD in economics from the University of Bremen in 2007 and my M.A. in Business Administration/Economics (equivalent of Dipl.-Kaufm.) from the University of Technology - Chemnitz in 2004.
