Speaker

David Lubin is the Michael Klein Senior Research Fellow in the Global Economy and Finance Programme where he focuses on China, and on economic policy in developing and advanced economies.

Before joining Chatham House, he was managing director and head of emerging markets economics at Citi, an American bank, where he was responsible for a team of some 30 economists in 15 locations globally.

David has a undergraduate degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University; and a postgraduate degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.

His book, ‘Dance of the Trillions: Developing Countries and Global Finance’, examines what makes money flow from high-income countries to lower-income ones; what makes it flow out again; and how developing countries have sought protection against the volatility of international capital flows. The Financial Times selected it as one of the best economics books of 2018.
