Dambisa Moyo is a Zambian-born economist and author widely regarded as one of the most influential voices in global economic policy. Born in Lusaka, Zambia, she rose to international acclaim with her bestselling book Dead Aid, followed by works including How the West Was Lost and Edge of Chaos, works that continue to be read for their provocative analysis of international development, global economics, and the future of capitalism. Holding a PhD in economics from Oxford and a master's from Harvard's Kennedy School, she previously worked at Goldman Sachs and the World Bank before turning her expertise toward writing and public commentary on macroeconomic policy. Dead Aid drew significant international attention and debate for its argument that traditional foreign aid to Africa has done more harm than good, challenging conventional development thinking and sparking wide-ranging discussion among policymakers and economists. Known for her rigorous, data-driven analysis of global economic and development issues, Moyo's work continues to shape modern economic thought and inspire readers across the world.
