Panos Tsoukalis

Panos Tsoukalis is a researcher in economics with an interest and training in social sciences. He is a fellow at the World Inequality Database, which is based in Paris, and a graduate student at the New School for Social Research in New York. Before moving to New York, he was a graduate student at the Paris School of Economics (École Normale Supérieure), writing his thesis under the supervision of Thomas Piketty. 

His research touches upon wealth inequality, elections and political cleavages, and the political economy of capitalism more broadly. He has been published in several forms, including in an economics journal, a collective volume, an academic symposium, working papers, as well as on the Greek daily press on several instances. 

He is the co-editor of the Greek translation of the collective volume “Political Cleavages and Social Inequalities” (HUP 2021). The Greek publication also includes two chapters on the history of Greek political cleavages and the economic history of Greece that he has co-authored. His work on Greek political cleavages has also been published in English as a working paper by the World Inequality Lab in Paris.

Earlier, he published a study on the effects of the Greek crisis on wealth inequality in the Journal of Economic Asymmetries. His most recent project, tackling the question of “What comes after neoliberalism?” is forthcoming on the Post-neoliberalism symposium. There, he traces the profound impact that Big Tech platforms and asset management companies have had on the contemporary political economy of capitalism.
