About
My research interests are in the intellectual history, and political economy, of 20th-century capitalism. I am particularly interested in how the beliefs and ideologies of economic actors shape actual outcomes, in terms of both intended and unintended consequences. My dissertation examines the way in which modernizers of different political hues and geographical backgrounds appropriated ideas and practices associated with the label "Fordism" between World War I and II. It aims to establish the intellectual, social and economic significance of Fordism as a modernist counter-practice to liberal capitalism.
