Diego Castañeda Garza.

I'm an Economist and a PhD candidate in Economic History at the Department of Economic History at Uppsala University. I'm Affiliated with the Uppsala Center for Business History and the co-founder and manager of the Uppsala Seminar in Economic History.

My research interests are ancient, past and present inequality, historical energy transitions, economic development, warfare, revolutions and political economy.

Besides academia, I write for the Mexican magazine Nexos and other media. I produce podcasts and write both for science divulgation and for analysis of economic policy (book reviews, op-eds, articles and books). Science Fiction, videogames and baseball are my favourite pastimes.
