I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Yale School of Management with a Ph.D in early American economic history and business culture from the University of Virginia.
My dissertation, “A Merchant’s Republic: Independence, Depression, and the Development of American Capitalism, 1760-1807,” analyzes the merchant-entrepreneur-led reformation of American business after American independence.
My research interests include the history of capitalism, financial crises and their civic consequences, early American political economy, and global economic development.
