Dambisa Moyo: An interview with the best-selling economist on her forthcoming book

Why you should watch: Dambisa Moyo is famous. She was on Oprah Winfrey's Power List, she stars at Davos, at Bilderberg, at Ambrosetti - and she is also a serious economist, with a DPhil from St Antony's to go with her MPA from Harvard and her MBA from American. She also has four NYT best-sellers behind her - including 'Dead Aid', which introduced the world to evidence-based development economics. She now has a new book coming out - and it is a big break from her past. Entitled 'How Boards Work', it is a distillation of the lessons she has learned from a decade as a serial corporate Board member at, inter alia, 3M, Chevron, Barclays, Conde Nast and Oxford University's Investment Committee. On the one hand, it is a defence of capitalism; on the other, it is a plea for reform, and for more forward-thinking at the top of the corporate pyramid. Jane Fuller and Andrew Hilton pop the questions; she answers them.

Dambisa Moyo came to prominence with her first book, 'Dead Aid', which was an attack on conventional pieties about development. She followed that up with 'How the West was Lost', 'China's Race for Resources' and 'Edge of Chaos'. Originally from Zambia, she has a DPhil from Oxford, spent two years at the World Bank and eight at Goldman Sachs. Recently married, she has latterly forged a very successful career as a Board director for major corporations on both sides of the Atlantic.
