Q&A with Dr Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou

Dr Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou is the Director of the UCL Centre for Capitalism Studies and the Programme Leader of the Sociology BSc.

To applaud capitalism adds little to humanity’s conversations about markets and financial institutions, and to merely dismiss it coarsens our capacity to understand fully its profound impact on our everyday life.

Our mission is to improve our understanding of the ‘black box’ of finance, how it imagines and fashions our future, and draw out clear lessons for political institutions and society at large.

This work enters an exciting new stage with the establishment of the Centre for Capitalism Studies, which brings together leading scholars in the field, from UCL and beyond, to address these urgent questions.
