I am Professor of Economics and Director of the MA in Economics at the new, virtual Universidad de las Hespérides. I am also a Senior Fellow of the American Institute for Economic Research. My research interests include constitutional political economy and institutional economics, cronyism and economic freedom, Austrian economics, and history of economic thought.
I hold a BSFS cum laude in International Affairs from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University (1994) and a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University (2007). I have held appointments as Distinguished Professor of Economics and L.V. Hackley Chair for the Study of Capitalism and Free Enterprise at Fayetteville State University (NC), associate professor of economics at Flagler College (FL), and Wallace and Marion Reemelin Chair in Free-Market Economics (Assistant Professor) at Hillsdale College (MI).
