Advising
In addition to teaching and academic research, I have done a lot of advisory work for ‘real’ people.
Over the years, I have worked with most of the UN organisations that deal with socio-economic issues and a number of multilateral financial organisations, like the World Bank. I have worked with private sector firms and organizations as well as ‘left-leaning’ non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and think-tanks.
