| Introduction | Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm an economist who's interested in social ethics, in epistemology (whatever that is), and above all in the transition from today's unsustainable system to a plurality of sustainable alternatives. I grew up in a German family in France and in the USA. I studied economics in Strasbourg (France) and Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), going on to a Ph.D. in 1995 and, in 2006, a "habilitation." My main employer is the Belgian National Science Foundation (F.R.S.-FNRS). I teach in the economics and sociology departments of the University of Louvain-la-Neuve, and I do my research at the Hoover Chair for Economic and Social Ethics. (Here's my webpage address in case you're interested: http://www.uclouvain.be/11510.html) My favorite rock bands are Rush and Porcupine Tree, and I love Woody Allen's humor, but I have recently been persuaded to also look into Tim Minchin, "The Daily Show," and "How the Grinch stole Christmas." I play the drums and tend to read a bit too much nonfiction. So I guess I should relax more and maybe take up jogging, or yoga, or both. That's a tall order... |
