I am not normal, but extraordinary and special. Educated at Sheffield (BA), KU Leuven Belgium (MSc) and Queen Mary University of London (PhD) I am an author by vocation, economist and political scholar by education and historian by heart. I worked for 10 years at the European Parliament, involved in policy drafting, public speaking and speech-writing, currently lecturing at various universities UK and abroad. Authored about 30 academic articles, 2 books, a few translations, and professional studies in accounting, sustainability and AI.
