capitalism critique / *How Markets Fail*

Staff writer at The New Yorker, where he covers economics, finance, and American politics. His 2009 book *How Markets Fail* argued that free-market ideology ignores the systemic failures embedded in real-world capitalism, drawing on behavioural economics and the 2008 financial crisis. He also wrote *dot.con*, an account of the 1990s internet bubble.
