Dick Bryan joined Political Economy in 1984. Over the subsequent quarter of a century, he has researched and taught on two related areas: theories of value and distribution and the evolving global economic system. An on-going theme here is the breaking down of national barriers to trade, investment and finance and the associated breaking down of national systems of economic calculation.
