Dr Sahil DuttaLink opens in a new window, Email: s.dutta@gold.ac.uk

Sahil Jai Dutta is a lecturer in political economy at City, University of London. His teaching and research focuses on financialisation, money, managerialism, and the political economy of Britain. Sahil is currently working on three interdisciplinary research projects: (1) Modern monetary policymaking: This project examines how financial globalisation and the rise of market-based banking has produced new forms of state power in Britain and new possibilities for macroeconomic policymaking. (2) Financialisation of the firm: This project explores how non-financial company executives in the 1960s pioneered the use of financial markets as an engine for growth. They developed key techniques - high leverage, share-price maximisation and accounting manipulation - that later defined the shareholder value era. (3) The rise of New Public Management: This project explores the history of public sector reform in Britain and America and how techniques of systems analysis were taken from Cold War American military planners and redeployed to design, implement and evaluate public sector work. Research on each of these has been published in New Political Economy, Review of International Political Economy, Competition & Change, and Socio-Economic Review.
