About Niall Kishtainy
He holds that economic ideas of the past, and the real struggles behind them, help explain the world we live in now. He is especially interested in the stories people tell themselves about the economic world, and in why those stories matter. He favours vivid writing that any reader can engage with. A Little History of Economics, his book from Yale University Press, came out in March 2017.
