Jim Phillips is Senior Lecturer in Economic and Social History at the University of Glasgow. His research examines the historical dimensions of a core problem in our contemporary world: how individuals and communities identify and pursue economic security. He sees work and labour organisation in industrial sectors as central to such security. Jim's analysis of deindustrialisation is framed by notions of justice and the moral economy.
