About the Authors


Manzur Rashid read economics at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a double first and was elected to junior, senior and research scholarships. He completed his doctoral studies in economic theory at University College London (UCL) under the supervision of Martin Cripps, where he specialised in game theory, bounded rationality and industrial organisation. Manzur has taught economics at UCL, Cambridge University, New College of the Humanities and Charterhouse.

Peter Antonioni is a senior teaching fellow in the Department of Management Science and Innovation at UCL, where he teaches strategy. His research interest focuses on the economic history of music production. When not working, he can usually be found crying over Tottenham Hotspur’s most recent performance or channelling his angst into playing blues guitar.
