Sponsors

James Anderson supports a programme of research called ‘Deep Transitions’ which studies innovation patterns of the past, in particular, the collective wave of innovation that formed the industrial revolution, also dubbed the first ‘Deep Transition’. This work builds on the earlier ‘long wave theory’ developed by Carlota Perez, which James credits for aiding his past investment strategy, hence the name of this scholarship. http://www.sussex.ac.uk/profiles/92491
