About the Author
Steven M. Teles is a distinguished political scientist and policy expert whose work illuminates the intersections of power, economics, and governance in modern America. A professor at Johns Hopkins University and a senior fellow at the Niskanen Center, Teles has dedicated his career to dissecting how entrenched interests distort democratic processes and exacerbate economic disparities. His incisive analyses challenge conventional wisdom, advocating for reforms that foster equitable growth and institutional renewal. In his acclaimed book, The Captured Economy: How the Powerful Enrich Themselves, Slow Down Growth, and Increase Inequality, co-authored with political economist Brink Lindsey, Teles exposes the hidden mechanisms of regulatory capture that stifle innovation and widen inequality. Through rigorous scholarship and accessible prose, he offers a compelling blueprint for reclaiming economic vitality from the grip of elite influence.
