Personal Details

Bio

I write and speak about ideas in the social sciences, particularly new research in psychology, sociology, and economics. My work has appeared in Discover, the New York Times Magazine, O (the Oprah Magazine), Psychology Today, Scientific American and Scientific American Mind, Stanford magazine, the Washington Post, Slate, and Wired.

Also, wearing my content marketing hat, I'm a long-time contributor to Stanford Business and other publications of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, as well as to Communications of the ACM, the magazine for computer scientists.

I'm intrigued by just about any topic at the intersection of economics and psychology, and by the ways technology is changing the world. My latest book, THE MIDDLEMAN ECONOMY, covers all this and more!
