More broadly, his research interests include comparative finance capitalism, the politics of growth models, and the relationship of democracy and capitalism.
Recently, Dustin published his first book titled Money: A Theory of Modern Society (Routledge), co-authored with Nico Stehr. The book is also available in German with Velbrück publishers.
