During his stay in the School of Economics, Finance and Management, Iain will be working with Professor Jonathan Beaverstock and looks forward to making connections with other colleagues in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law, and the Cabot Institute, on the very emotive issue of, ‘The super-rich, inequality and emerging environmental challenges.’
