Kotz
About the Author
Kotz is a distinguished economist and professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he has long been a leading voice in the analysis of political economy and capitalist structures. With decades of research into the dynamics of economic systems, Kotz has illuminated the historical shifts that shape modern societies, particularly the ascendancy and vulnerabilities of neoliberal policies. His seminal work, The Rise and Fall of Neoliberal Capitalism: With a New Preface, offers a comprehensive examination of how neoliberalism transformed global economies since the late 20th century, while the updated preface addresses its contemporary crises and potential alternatives. Kotz's scholarship bridges rigorous empirical analysis with critical theory, influencing debates on inequality, financialization, and the future of capitalism. A committed public intellectual, he continues to write and speak on the pressing need for progressive economic reforms in an era of uncertainty.
