Economics is a fundamental part of our publishing at PUP.  The list is populated by enduring classics, including von Neumann and Morgenstern鈥檚 Theory of Games and Economic Behavior (1944), Friedman and Schwartz鈥檚 A Monetary History of the United States, 1876-1960 (1963), and Reinhart and Rogoff鈥檚 This Time Is Different (2009). I seek to build on this tradition by publishing the most definitive and innovative works in the discipline, which itself is growing and changing and ever more important to the real world. Books I hope to acquire address a huge range of topics, from jobs, money, competition, global trade, and health policy to the history of how societies have organized and developed, as well as the way we, as individuals and modern societies, make our own choices about how to generate and distribute resources more fairly and effectively for all鈥攁nd how we decide what that actually means.

Some of the books I鈥檝e worked on include Dani Rodrik鈥檚 Straight Talk on Trade, Katharina Pistor鈥檚 The Code of Capital, Uwe Reinhardt鈥檚 Priced Out, Anne Case and Angus Deaton鈥檚 Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism, Jan Eeckhout鈥檚 The Profit Paradox, Michael Keen and Joel Slemrod鈥檚 Rebellion, Rascals, and Revenue, Hal Weitzman鈥檚 What鈥檚 the Matter with Delaware?, Claudia Goldin鈥檚 Career and Family, Bruce Hansen鈥檚 Econometrics, and Alan Blinder鈥檚 A Monetary and Fiscal History of the United States, 1961-2021.
