I am currently writing my first book, After Inclusion: How a Plan for Mass Homeownership in Mexico Pulled Society Apart and Pushed Liberalism into Crisis. Ultimately, my book answers two questions: why has consumer credit become the cornerstone of development policy, and how does society change when poverty becomes productive for high finance?

My second project is an ethnographic history of the financialization of water in between Mexico and the United States.
