His research focuses on the political economy and political ecology of the ongoing socio-ecological transformation, the history and social theory of economic thought, and on applied monetary, fiscal and financial economic policies. He also works on issues of socio-technological change, with a view to deconstruct the different rationalities that might lurk behind buzzwords such as digitalization, agility, or resilience In recent years, he has extensively published on different issues, ranging from central banking and financial markets to theories of transformational statehood to public management.

His wish is to make discourses about sustainability less technocratic, and more political.
