About the Author

A New Yorker now transplanted to Seattle, Daniel Jacoby earned his Ph.D. in economics at the University of Washington. He now works as an associate professor for the very unusual University of Washington―Bothell’s Liberal Studies Program, where interdisciplinarity and teaching are especially valued. His apprenticeship in academic scholarship has led him to publish monographs in several academic journals including Labor History, Industrial Relations, and the Journal of Economic History.
