Research and Writing
I research and write on a variety of healthcare topics including health care regulation and bioethics. In recent years, I have been largely focused on issues related to class, human flourishing, work, and family formation. Much of my popular writing can be found at my Substack newsletter The Savage Collective which is focused on class and flourishing in a Machine Age. I have listed selections of my writing below.
