Research Interests

My research and teaching is focused on technology, entrepreneurship and planetary habitability.

The central focus of my current work is to highlight the unsustainable nature of the growth-based economic system, manifested in a "Guns, Oil and Oligarch" nexus.

I joined IZA as a Research Fellow in January 2013.

New books:

The Economic Decline of the West: Guns, Oil and Oligarchs (2025). Palgrave Macmillan. Available here.

Economic Growth and Societal Collapse: Beyond Green Growth and Degrowth Fairy Tales (2023). Palgrave Macmillan. Available here.

Artificial Intelligence: Economic Perspectives and Models (2024). Cambridge University Press. Available here.

Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship and Conflict (2024). Edward Elgar Publishers. Available here.
