About the Author

Niall Kishtainy

I'm a writer, economist and historian. I believe that the history of economic thinking and of real economic struggles can tell us a lot about our current situation and, for me, it's in vivid writing that anyone can respond to where all this really comes to life. Most of all, I'm interested in the stories we tell ourselves about our economic world, and why they matter. My latest book, A Little History of Economics, was published by Yale University Press in March 2017.
