Financial Editor, Evening Standard
Synopsis
Hilton is a winner of the most prestigious press award at the World Economic Forum. He has also served on the advisory board of a customer relationship consultancy. Tony offers instant analysis of the signals and a balanced view of the challenges facing business leaders. On a global level he sees a continuing transfer of power from the US and Europe to the East - though America will do much to cling on and China may not want the responsibility.
Chief Executive, CEBR
Synopsis
Before setting up the leading independent consultancy, Doug served as Chief Economist at IBM UK and the CBI. He is widely respected for his ability to factor economic indicators into business decisions. In 2009 Doug sees the FTSE-250 outperforming the 100 share Index, and the Euro 'ceasing to levitate.' He points to the differences between Britain and other major economies, and believes we will emerge less consumer dependent and with a lower real exchange rate.
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
Long before his appointment to the Bank of England and the Monetary Policy Committee, Sir John served as Private Secretary to three Chancellors: Lawson, Major and Lamont. He believes there has been too much reliance on interest rates to control the economy, advocating new instruments to sit between interest rates (which affect the whole economy), supervision and regulation of individual banks.
Leading Behavioural Economist
Synopsis
Tim is presenter of Radio 4's More or Less and author of The Logic of Life and The Undercover Economist - racking up nearly a million sales in 30 languages. Tim spends much of his time looking tongue-in-cheek at the economics of daily life, but he's also a 'serious' economist with a career spanning Shell and the World Bank. He describes the sometimes bizarre theories that are used in attempts to save the world from Armageddon, and to match odd socks.
