Phenomenal World

Phenomenal World is a publication focused on political economy.

We aim to publish rigorous and innovative writing on economics, history, finance, policy, and politics. A publication of JFI, Phenomenal World explores political economy from a range of social scientific disciplines, and works with emerging and established scholars in and outside of JFI’s projects. 

Phenomenal World is edited by Maya Adereth, Tim Barker, Sanoja Bhaumik, Andrew Elrod, Emma Fajgenbaum, and Jack Gross.

We welcome submissions and pitches on subjects in economics, history, politics, philosophy, sociology, economic history, and kindred fields. We have extremely wide-ranging interests, so please get in touch. Email editorial@jainfamilyinstitute.org with a few paragraphs on your idea and your background.

Robin Sloan, writer

Steve Randy Waldman, writer & author of Interfluidity
