His first book, Democracy Against Domination (forthcoming, Oxford University Press) offers a new account of how ideals of democracy can respond to persisting disparities of economic power, particularly in context of debates over economic regulation and reform debates after the 2008 financial crisis. His next book project expands these themes to examine the interactions between social movements, economic regulation, and inclusive governance in current day efforts to address economic inequality. His popular writings have appeared in The Atlantic, The Boston Review, The Nation, and Salon.com. Rahman earned his J.D. and Ph.D in Government, both at Harvard University, as well as an M.Sc in economics and M.St in sociolegal studies from the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar.
