- I am interested in the temporal and historical dimensions of contemporary capitalism, with specific reference to global finance.edit
The contemporary asset economy must be seen as producing a very peculiar form of eternity based on the abolition of time through repetition.

The logic of fractal distinctions tells us that a final synthesis of economy and society will always remain out of reach; both IPE and IPS will continue to reproduce economy and society in unforeseen ways.
Research Interests:
If global finance is a machine, then there is something irrational, something supernatural — even magical — about the way it operates.

In his book 'The Specter of Capital', Joseph Vogl weaves the story of neo and new classical economics into Marx’s vision of the capitalist machine. His core argument is that modern financial theory has transformed Adam Smith’s account of the market into a distributed form of numerical machinery.

The post-disciplinary ethos is to work after and with the modern disciplines; to draw on theories and methods developed in different disciplinary contexts, but to do so in ways that might shed new light on evolving financial practices and the worlds these create.
Research Interests:
The management of contemporary financial crises is reliant on a ritual work of repetition, wherein prior ‘crisis’ episodes are called upon to identify and authorise specific sites and modes of crisis management.

There is a complex interaction not only between historical analogies, narratives, and lessons, but also between these representational modes and the imaginary dimensions of crisis.
Research Interests:
The past does not simply provide conditions of possibility for capitalist finance; it also serves as a vital resource for those who might seek to understand or negotiate it in a particular present.
Research Interests:
The idea of the Great Depression has come to function as a kind of historical ‘black mirror’ -- a quasi-object within which conjuncture and historical representation interact to produce an image of capitalist history itself.
Research Interests:
A spectre is haunting global politics – the spectre of crisis. Crisis not simply as an event, but also as a concept, and as the perceived need to come to terms with that concept.

The idea that time and history move forward is a cornerstone of critical economic perspectives -- but what happens to the present when the past catches up with it? "History in Financial Times" pursues this question in connection with contemporary financial capitalism, tracing the diverse modes of history production at work in the spheres of financial journalism, policymaking, and popular culture.
