Dr has been awarded a prestigious Research Fellowship by the , which is due to commence on the 1st October 2014 for 12 months.

The Fellowship will allow Dr Holmes to complete a research monograph entitled 'Visions of perfectibility: state, market and alternatives in the formation of economic ideas'. The book will examine the way in which public economic discourse has become trapped within a notion of opposition between state and market, unpacking the history of ideas that gave rise to this situation as a set of ‘visions of perfectibility’. It will observe how state-market opposition has constrained debate on economic management in the post- 2008 landscape, before exploring various sites for re-imagining the purpose of the economy outside of the bounds of state and market.
