Politically left-leaning, he is drawn to economics for its ability to explore key sociological questions in unique ways. He maintains that understanding basic economic concepts is a requirement for anyone who wants to be politically engaged, and thinks the political spin applied to key economic questions should be called out for the harm it causes.
