Ian Goldin biography
Finance speaker Ian Goldin is one of the world’s leading authorities on globalization, its promise, and its risks.

Goldin is the author of more than 20 influential books, including 2021’s Rescue: From Global Crisis to a Better World. Francis Fukuyama called Terra Incognita: 100 Maps to Survive the Next 100 Years “a stunning account of our fast-changing world.” Development: A Very Short Introduction was hailed by the President of the British Academy as “a splendid achievement.” Goldin also wrote and presented the BBC series After the Crash and The Impact of Artificial Intelligence.

Ian Goldin Keynote Topics
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought our globalized world to a grinding halt. Borders have closed, supply chains have vanished into thin air, and the future of multilateral institutions like the WHO, and supranational organizations like the European Union, seem to hang in the balance. Supporters of globalization believe that the solutions to the pandemic - whether they be economic, public health or foreign aid - lie not in deglobalization but in fostering a more interconnected and inclusive world. Only through increased global cooperation can we overcome the daunting challenges that lie ahead. Critics of globalization say that the pandemic has exposed the shaky foundations of our hyperconnected world. They argue that that the system that failed to deliver critical health supplies in the crunch, is also a system that benefits the 1% and multinationals at the expense of economic equality, the environment, and democratic institutions.
Ian Goldin has a unique insight into the future. Drawing on the frontiers of research at Oxford and elsewhere, he provides illuminating perspectives on the major changes in society and technology which are likely to take place over coming decades. His presentations focus on the big picture, looking at the implications for businesses, governments and individual choice.
