UCL Centre for Capitalism Studies

The UCL Centre for Capitalism Studies is a world-leading centre for critical interdisciplinary research into the past, present, and future of capitalism.

About us

Centre Director: Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou

Deputy Director: Matteo Tiratelli

We bring together academics, students and policymakers to explore how the institutions of contemporary capitalism shape everyday life, structure societies’ capacity to change, and are contested and remade across time and space.
