Dissertation Title: Essays on Historical Political Economy and Economic Inequality

Profile:
César Castillo-García is a PhD candidate in economics at The New School for Social Research (NSSR). He specializes in income and wealth inequality, economic history, and political economy, with an emphasis on Latin America. His theoretical background is in classical political economy, post-Keynesian economics, and institutional economics. In his current research, Cesar uses a two-pronged approach (quantitative and qualitative) and two data sets (national accounts and household surveys) to study how neoliberal economic ideas as well as fiscal, monetary, and industrial policymaking have boosted income and wealth inequality, produced wage-productivity decoupling, and raised profit share in 20th-century Peru. He earned a master’s degree in economics at NSSR and a bachelor’s degree in economics at the UP. Cesar also completed master's studies in philosophy at the PUCP. As a researcher, he held visiting positions at the EHESS-Paris School of Economics (PSE) and the Weatherhead Research Cluster on Global History at Harvard University. He has ample experience teaching economic history, political economy, and quantitative methods at Eugene Lang College and at NSSR in New York City. He also held professional positions at the Peruvian Planning Agency (CEPLAN) and the Human Development Report Office-UNDP.
