His current book project, The Unseen: Neoliberalism & The Problem of Poverty, explores neoliberal theorisations of poverty and inequality within the United States, Europe, and the Global South. It charts the evolution of neoliberal ideas on poverty across the separate policy arenas of economic development, warfare, macroeconomics, and welfare reform in the middle decades of the twentieth century. Daniel earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2024. He now serves as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University’s Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History. His recent article, “Getting Tough or Rolling Back the State? Why Neoliberals Disagreed on a Guaranteed Minimum Income” (Modern Intellectual History) was awarded the Dorothy Ross Runner-Up Prize for US Intellectual History in 2023.
