About Me
I am currently a professor at Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada) in the Department of History where I teach about the history of capitalism and economic thought.
My doctoral work was completed at Harvard University after which I served as the dean of Kirkland House, one of the twelve undergraduate residential communities of the university.
I have also worked in the private sector for IBM in brand management.
My research explores how people have thought over time about law, business and the economy.
Current projects include a history of capitalism's moral economy, an investigation into liberal theory and business interests, and the reconstruction of eighteenth-century illicit commerce and political economy.
Grants from Canada's Social Science and Humanities Research Council, Wilfrid Laurier University, Harvard University, Oxford University, and the Huntington Library have supported my research.
