Jeff Powell

Jeff Powell serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of International Business & Economics at the University of Greenwich, where he is also affiliated with the Greenwich Political Economy Research Centre (GPERC). As a founding member of Reteaching Economics, he actively contributes to reforming economics education through pluralist pedagogical approaches.

His research centers on critical intersections of development economics, monetary systems, and financialisation, with particular focus on the subordination of emerging economies within global financial structures. Powell examines historical transformations in capitalist development, the political economy of crises, and alternative approaches to economic governance, consistently adopting a critical perspective that challenges mainstream economic narratives.

Analysis of Powell's 15 publications reveals a sustained research trajectory examining financialised capitalism's impact on development trajectories, with recent work emphasizing structural hierarchies in the international monetary system. His scholarship demonstrates strong thematic coherence across temporal periods, evolving from eurozone crisis analyses (2010-2011) to contemporary investigations of financial subordination in emerging economies (2021-2023).

Powell maintains active international research collaborations with institutions including the University of Cambridge and SOAS University of London, reflecting his embeddedness in global critical political economy networks. His work through Reteaching Economics demonstrates parallel commitment to transforming economics pedagogy alongside his scholarly research on financial and developmental structures.
