Welcome!

Welcome to the site of Christopher Houghton Budd, an economic and monetary historian based in Canterbury, England, but to be found in many parts of the world, lecturing, consulting and giving workshops. Combining formal training with a wide range of activities that embrace both accounting and artistic elements, Dr. Houghton Budd's work has two goals – to contribute to the metamorphosis of capitalism and to overcome the reputation of economics as a dismal science. The main themes of his work entail looking into the subtler aspects of economic and monetary history in order to sense the deeper meaning of current circumstances and where they might be leading.
