Geoffrey Heal, an advisory board member for the Center for Political Economy, critique's the president during his first term in this research paper published in 2018 in Capitalism and Society.
Heal is the Donald C. Waite III Professor of Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School and chairs Faculty Advisory Committee for the Global Center on Energy Policy.
Heal wrote in the abstract for the paper that, "I place the environmental policies of the Trump administration in a historical perspective. They represent a return to the intellectual framework of the 19th century and a neglect of important developments in economics in the 20th century."
