Dr Arthur Diamond Jr, Fellow

Arthur Diamond’s recent research is on innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship, all of which feature prominently in his book Openness to Creative Destruction: Sustaining Innovative Dynamism from the Oxford University Press.

He studied philosophy and economics at the University of Chicago, where he also was a Post-Doctoral Fellow with Nobel laureate Gary Becker. After Chicago, he was on the faculty at The Ohio State University and is now Professor of Economics at the University of Nebraska Omaha.

Arthur’s academic articles and reviews have appeared in a wide range of journals including: Economic Inquiry, Journal of Human Resources, Journal of Political Economy, History of Political Economy, Science, and Theory and Decision.

Outside of academia, Arthur wrote the script for “Frank Knight and the Chicago School” in the Great Economic Thinkers series and writes commentaries or reviews for InsideSources and for publications such as the Telegraph, Reason, the Orlando Sentinel, and the Wall Street Journal. He is a member of the Mont Pelerin Society, and a Senior Fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research.

He is the co-author of the ASI’s paper, ‘Against The Man of System: Innovative Dynamism after Covid-19,’ which argues that the state lacks the entrepreneurialism and innovation provided by the private sector.
