Who is Lucas Bernard?

Lucas Bernard is a financial economist and professor of business at The City University of New York, College of Technology. Although his doctoral dissertation, concerning endogenous models of credit default, was written at The New School for Social Research his CV also lists graduate degrees in both Mathematics, from The City University of New York, and Computer Science, from NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Science. Recently, his interests have moved away from the traditional mathematical models, popular with economists, and more towards the role of economics as a sub-discipline of sociology. He is interested in the ways in which economics blends together human values, politics, rationality and irrationality; more specifically, how this interplay reveals itself in society at large. He is an editor-in-chief of the magazine Technology and Investment.
