BIOGRAPHY
Martin Wolf’s unique perspective and experience gives him an unparalleled voice on the European financial crisis. He can speak with authority about the economic relationships that led to today’s disasters but more importantly what we can learn from them and share insights on what lies ahead for Europe and the World.
Martin was a member of the UK government’s Independent Commission on Banking between June 2010 and September 2011.
He is Associate Editor and Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times, London, writing a weekly column on the world economy and a fortnightly column on the UK.
He is a Forum Fellow at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he has served as a panel moderator.
Martin was a senior economist for ten years at the World Bank’s division of international trade.
He was Director of Studies at the Trade Policy Research Centre, London, and has advised governments and international organisations on trade and economic integration.
Martin is the author of several books and numerous articles on global economics and political economy, including, Why Globalization Works.
His widely praised book, Fixing Global Finance: How to Curb Financial Crises in the 21st Century (now in an expanded and updated edition), describes how the current financial crisis developed (and those that have preceded it), and what we can do to help ensure global financial stability in the future. China Business News named Fixing Global Finance its "Financial Book of the Year" for 2009.
Martin has won several prestigious awards for his journalism, including, the 2012 International Ischia Journalism Prize (Italy’s most prestigious media award), the US Society of Business Writers and Editors, 15th Annual Best Business Journalism award, the "Ludwig-Erhard-Preis für Wirtschaftspublizistik" ("Ludwig Erhard Prize for economic commentary") from the Ludwig Erhard Stiftung (Foundation) for 2009. He won "Commentariat of the Year 2009" at the Comment Awards, sponsored by Editorial Intelligence, the CBE (Commander of the British Empire) in 2000 "for services to financial journalism" and the Decade of Excellence Award at the 2003 Business Journalists of the Year Awards.
He has a well-deserved reputation for rigorous thinking, deep insight and dazzlingly sharp delivery.
