Diego Castañeda Garza.

I'm an Economist and an Economic Historian. I hold a  PhD in Economic History from the Department of Economic History at Uppsala University. I'm Affiliated with the Uppsala Historical Inequality and Labor Lab, 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, financial history, revolutions and political economy.

Besides academia, I write about current affairs for different media outlets such as Nexos Magazine and Foreign Affairs Latin America. 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.
