I’m an economist and writer based in Edinburgh. I’m currently Co-Founder and Co-Director at Future Economy Scotland and a visiting fellow at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP). I am also a research fellow at The Democracy Collaborative, a council member of the Progressive Economy Forum (PEF), and a member of North Ayrshire Council’s Community Wealth Building Expert Panel. In 2017, I co-authored the critically acclaimed book ‘Rethinking the Economics of Land and Housing’. 

Prior to this, I was Senior Economist at the New Economics Foundation, Economics Editor at openDemocracy and a trustee at the Finance Innovation Lab. He has also led research projects in a freelance capacity for a wide range of think tanks, trade unions, and public sector organisations.

On this site you can find all my writing, research and publications from recent years, as well as my occasional musings on economics, politics, technology – and whatever else captures my attention.
