Sanjay Reddy

Sanjay Reddy is an Associate Professor of Economics at The New School for Social Research, The New School in New York, USA. His research bridges economics, philosophy, and politics, with a focus on global justice, development, and well-being.

• Collaborated with Prof. Dr. Rainer Forst (June-July 2022) on the project "Cooperation: Rational vs. Social"

Reddy's work explores the intersection of rational choice theory and social cooperation, particularly in contexts like the prisoner’s dilemma. He challenges traditional game theory frameworks by emphasizing the role of trust in sustaining cooperation beyond self-interest.

Recent publications span interdisciplinary themes: from critiques of economic inequality ("Beyond Property or Beyond Piketty?"), to ethical considerations in public health during the pandemic, and methodological questions at the interface of statistical physics and economics.
