Against the Current

Monthly Commentaries by Robert Skidelsky

Robert Skidelsky, a member of the British House of Lords, is Professor emeritus of political economy at Warwick University, author of a prize-winning biography of the economist John Maynard Keynes, and a board member of the Moscow School of Political Studies.

Are markets moral? What does the East expect from the West? Has globalization killed the idea of equality? Has the concept of “humanitarian intervention” been discredited? Is authoritarian capitalism a viable development option?

Few thinkers embody globalization as thoroughly as Robert Skidelsky. Born in China, a Russian speaker who teaches in Moscow, a working member of the British House of Lords, and a historian who has produced defining work on subjects ranging from fascism to education to economic and social philosophy, Lord Skidelsky's biography and intellectual breadth make him perfectly suited to comment on the diverse problems of our age.
