I was a Professor of Economics at Menlo College for many years. I have a Ph.D. in economics from U.C.S.B. I have had many articles published in major economic journals, have been a participant in numerous economic conferences around the world, have been an invited speaker at two major  Universities in China, and have had two books published in the last four years (Free Cash, capital accumulation and inequality, 2018);  The Failure of Markets: Energy, Housing and Health, March 2022) both from Routledge Press. I am currently a member of the financial committee for the Association for Evolutionary Economics.
