He received his Ph.D. from theUniversity of Michigan in 1981 with a thesis "Investment under uncertainty : the capital market and the behavior of the firm"[3]

His most recent book,The Labor-Managed Firm: Theoretical Foundations attempts to build a theoretical foundation in order to explain the overwhelming preeminence of capital-managed firms viz. labor-managed firms in the real economy. His main conclusions include the fact that market imperfections[5] along with a number of organizational weaknesses that LMFs (labor-managed firms) face that capital-managed firms (KMFs) do not[5] prevent the spread of LMFs through the real economy.
