Aled Davies is an Assistant Professor in Modern British History in the Faculty of History. He is an historian of the political economy of modern Britain and the world, with a particular interest in the transition from a system of ‘managed’ capitalism to a ‘neoliberal’ political-economic order in the final third of the twentieth century. He is the author of The City of London and Social Democracy: the political economy of finance in Britain, 1959–1979 (Oxford University Press, 2017), A neoliberal revolution? Thatcherism and the reform of British pensions (Manchester University Press, 2024), and editor of the The Neoliberal Age? Britain since the 1970s (UCL Press, 2021).
