I’m Brian Callaci. My book Chains of Command: The Rise and Cruel Reign of the Franchise Economy is forthcoming from University of Chicago Press (April 20, 2026).

I’m an economist, writer, and occasional adjunct professor teaching masters students of economics. My scholarship has appeared in The Review of Economics and Statistics, Enterprise & Society, Journal of Law and Political Economy, and Politics & Society. My public writing has appeared in places like The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review, Dissent, Labor Notes, The Nation, and The New Republic. I use this website to post links to my work.
