Profile
Paulo dos Santos is Associate Professor of at 麻豆传媒色情片 for Social Research.
I am a mathematical political economist. My research engages with the social content of market outcomes and institutional structures in contemporary capitalism, and with the development of robust formalisms that can enable conceptual and observational work on these areas. This includes work on economic and mathematical methodology, the use of concepts and tools from information theory in social inquiry, the measurement of inequality in economic outcomes, and on central themes in Classical political economy. I am also interested in more immediately pertinent areas of research, like the nature and content of contemporary financial systems and relations; "financial inclusion;" the functioning and problems of the present international monetary system; and the economic effects of systems of racial, ethnic, and gender subordination.
Across all these areas, my work seeks to contribute to the development of an observationally grounded, critical political economy of contemporary capitalism--by drawing on new data, formal methods, and analytical instruments, to shed light on the ways today鈥檚 market economies reproduce consequential aggregate relationships between definite social groups.听
