Why Is John Weeks Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, John Weeks was an American economist, critic of neoliberal economics and a policy advisor to the Labour party under Jeremy Corbyn. Life Weeks was born in Austin, Texas in a middle class family. He received a degree in economics from the University of Texas in 1963 and subsequently enrolled in PhD-studies. Weeks was also active in the US-anti war efforts during the late sixties. Weeks completed his doctorate in 1969 and went on to teach at Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria before becoming a lecturer at the University of Sussex in 1971. Weeks later became an advisor for the Nicaraguan government's planning ministry. In 1985 Weeks was called out as a "dangerous academic" by a conservative organization. In this context, where Weeks felt that the US environment was increasingly hostile, Weeks enthusiastically accepted leaving the US to become Professor Emeritus at the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London. His research interests were in theoretical and policy-applied macroeconomics and economic development. Weeks published academic papers, books and policy reports in these areas.
