Linda Yueh

Economist and former BBC chief business correspondent Professor Linda Yueh looks at the thinking of the great economists who changed the world and asks how their ideas can help us tackle issues such as Brexit, globalisation and Trumpism.

Yueh looks at the ideas of economists from Adam Smith, David Ricardo and John Maynard Keynes to contemporary academics Douglass North and Robert Solow.  What can Marx tell us about China’s future? How does Keynes help us to think about state intervention to boost investment. And are there things we can learn that will help us to handle Brexit and Trumpism?

Yueh is a fellow in economics at St Edmund Hall, Oxford. She is a former economics editor at Bloomberg TV and hosted Talking Business on the BBC as chief business correspondent. She writes for national newspapers and has advised the World Bank and World Economic Forum.
