Aaron Schneider is Professor of International Studies at the University of Denver. His work focuses on the intersection of wealth and power, and he has conducted research in Latin America, India, and Sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, he emphasizes the study of public finance as a window into the political economy of development and democracy. The way governments secure contributions from key social groups and how states decide what to do with the money tells a story about the nature of national political communities – who is in, who is out, and who will enjoy what benefits of membership.

Hugo Cerón Anaya is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He aims to reverse the model that only looks at impoverished communities to explore social inequalities. Instead, Cerón Anaya analyses how class, racialized, and gender dynamics inform the behavior, perceptions, and views of the world of affluent people. He is particularly interested in the vast array of ordinary and everyday practices that reproduce social relations of domination in contemporary Mexico.
