About
Christoph Hermann is a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of History at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in economic history and the history of economic and social thought. He holds a Dr. Phil. from the University of Vienna.
His research examines the transformation of capitalist systems through crises and reforms, focusing on structural adjustments in Europe, public sector roles in inequality reduction, and impacts of market liberalization on labor. Hermann analyzes historical and contemporary economic policies through interdisciplinary lenses connecting economics, sociology, and political theory.
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on European economic models, welfare systems, and labor market transformations, with recent work addressing pandemic economics and post-capitalist alternatives. Research employs historical analysis, policy evaluation, and theoretical frameworks to critique contemporary economic systems.
