Hi, I’m Eli, and this is my website.
I’m chief economist at the Abundance Institute. My fondest wish is that GDP per capita would reach $200k by 2050. To get there, we need lots of new hard technology, and inevitably that hard technology is going to be deployed in highly regulated industries. I try to stack the regulatory deck in favor of new technology and of the economic and social change it brings about.
Before joining CGO, I spent 2+ years as head of global policy at Boom. Before that, I was a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and director of its Technology Policy Program.
Before I got started in tech policy, I thought I wanted to be a professor. I have a PhD in economics from George Mason University.
In my spare time, I tweet and blog, try to not screw up my kids, invest in exciting companies, read a lot of books, write, study ä¸æ–‡ to little avail, and seek out flow states.
