Financial Editor, Evening Standard
Synopsis
Anthony has won the most prestigious award for press at the World Economic Forum. He offers an instant analysis of the key signals and a balanced view of the challenges facing all business leaders. Anthony discards the pundits' usual default mode of unalloyed gloom. He maintains that the UK has dealt with far larger debts in the past - whilst the squeeze on incomes is offset by low interest rates. Meanwhile Germany has resources to support the Euro and the weaker peripheral nations.
Chief Executive, CEBR
Synopsis
Before establishing a leading consultancy, Doug was Chief Economist at IBM UK and the CBI. He is now head of a team with specialist insights across competition, regulation and macro issues - and a presence in the Middle and Far East. Known for an ability to factor economic indicators into business decisions, Doug and his team believe there's only a 20% chance of the Euro surviving 10 years. And he sees jitters in 2011, when Spain and Italy look to refinance €400bn of bonds.
Nobel Prize-winning Economist
Synopsis
Jo Stiglitz chaired President Clinton's Council of Advisors and served as Chief Economist at the World Bank. With Obama in the White House he remains a leading voice, especially on globalisation. A critic of the way in which the banks were initially bailed out, he sees a programme of public investment strengthening the US economy. To address the future debt burden, Stiglitz believes spending must yield new assets in human capital, technology and infrastructure.
Former Deputy Governor, Bank of England
Synopsis
Before his appointment to the Bank of England and the Monetary Policy Committee, John served as Private Secretary to three Chancellors: Lawson, Major and Lamont. He also carried out spending reviews for both Labour and Conservatives. John does not believe the BoE will be concerned about above-target inflation if wage settlements remain low, and whilst the sovereign debt crisis has not gone away in the Eurozone, it will do enough to prevent contagion to Italy, Belgium or France.
Financial Times' Undercover Economist
Synopsis
Often referred to as 'Britain's Malcolm Gladwell,' Tim is presenter of Radio 4's More or Less and author of The Logic of Life and The Undercover Economist - translated into 30 languages. His latest book, ADAPT: Why Success Always Starts With Failure, shows how adaptive trial-and-error processes can help tackle everything from innovation to financial crises. Tim also spends much of his time looking at the economics of daily life, like how to match odd socks.
