A strategic guide to how ideas become empires—told through the rise of Taylor Swift. Ten power lessons for success, written by a former Harvard Business School strategist.
Ongoing Writing
I publish regularly on But This Time It’s Different, where I write about defense economics, monetary systems, institutional design, and the political economy of power.
Editorial Writing
I write across disciplines—editorial, academic, and long-form—on subjects ranging from economic theory to pop culture, surrealism, and financial markets.
