Steven Klein is a Lecturer of Political Theory in the Department of Political Economy, King’s College London. His first book, The Work of Politics: Making a Democratic Welfare State (CUP 2020), examines the democratic potential of struggles over welfare institutions. He is also working on a second book project that draws together the thought of Karl Polanyi with the tradition of critical social theory to develop an account of the contemporary politics of finance, debt, and money.
