Graeme Maxton examines the assumptions and institutions that underpin humanity’s failure to respond adequately to its environmental challenges. He applies critical research, from a hegemonic Gramscian perspective, to the neoliberal economic system and interrogates transitions in the energy and automotive sectors, contemporary moral philosophy, and population.

Previously secretary general of the Club of Rome in Zurich, he is an advisory board member on the UN’s Pathways project, and a member of the editorial advisory board of Population Matters. Until 2006, he was a regional director with the Economist Group in Asia where he chaired Government Roundtables and conferences on aviation, energy, and China. He was previously with strategy consultants Booz.Allen & Hamilton, and in finance with Citibank and American Express. He was a visiting professor at Bayes Business School in London from 1988 until 2004 where taught economics, banking, and business strategy.
