He was appointed the first professor of political economy at University College London in 1828.
He wrote extensively on economic policy, and was a pioneer in the collection, statistical analysis and publication of economic data.
McCulloch was a co-founder, and one of the first editors, of The Scotsman newspaper, and worked on the Edinburgh Review.
He edited the 1828 edition of The Wealth of Nations.
