He was named one of the "young guns" and one of the "five hot minds in economics" by the Yale Economic Review. In 2009 he published a book on philosophy, ethics and history of economic thought "Economics of Good and Evil", which has unexpectedly become a national bestseller, later adopted as theatre piece which keeps selling out the National Theatre in Prague.
