Casino Capitalism in Macau with Tim Simpson

This episode features an interview with Timothy Simpson, Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Macau. Tim's interdisciplinary research focuses on Macau's urban culture, architecture, and tourism industry, tracing the city's history from a colonial Portuguese territory into one of the world's most renowned and lucrative sites of casino gaming. His most recent book is Betting on Macau: Casino Capitalism and China’s Consumer Revolution, which was published in 2023 by the University of Minnesota Press as part of their “Globalization and Community” series. The book examines the function of Macau's gambling and consumer economy within the broader post-socialist transformation in China. This year, Tim is also a Research Fellow at the International Institute for Asian Studies, where he is working on a new project analyzing contemporary efforts to diversify Macau's tourism industry.
