ABOUT

I am a historian of economic thought and a Senior Lecturer at the Centre Walras Pareto at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland).

I am the author of Value and Prices in Russian Economic Thought (ESHET Best Book Award 2016) and a co-author, with Nicolas Brisset, of a book on Robert Brenner and political Marxism.

Research Interests

  • Intellectual history of capitalism and socialism
  • Theories of value, economic planning, and socialist calculation
  • Russian, Ukrainian, and Soviet economic thought
  • Lausanne-based intellectual histories (the Bibliothèque russe de Lausanne and early Russian engagements with the Lausanne School of Economics)
  • Methodology and historiography of economics

Academic Community

I am one of the three co-hosts of the Smith and Marx Walk into a Bar podcast, and editor of the blog of the Centre Walras Pareto. I also serve on the editorial board of the Revue européenne des sciences sociales, and am a member of the REHPERE network.
