About the Author
William Davies is a distinguished British academic and writer whose work bridges the realms of political economy, psychology, and cultural critique. A professor of political economy at Goldsmiths, University of London, and co-director of the Political Economy Research Centre, Davies has garnered acclaim for his incisive explorations of how emotions and anxiety shape modern society. In his seminal book, Nervous States: How Feeling Took Over the World, he examines the rise of a world driven by fear, uncertainty, and affective forces, challenging traditional notions of rational governance and economic policy. Drawing from history, philosophy, and contemporary events, Davies offers a compelling narrative on the interplay between mind, body, and power in an era of perpetual unease. His writing has appeared in leading publications such as The Guardian, The New Statesman, and the London Review of Books, influencing debates on neoliberalism, technology, and public life.
