Roger Bootle
One of the City of London's best-known economists, Roger Bootle runs the consultancy, Capital Economics, which specialises in macroeconomics and the economics of the property market. He is also an Economic Adviser to Deloitte, a Specialist Adviser to the House of Commons Treasury Committee and an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries. He was formerly Group Chief Economist of HSBC and, under the previous Conservative government, he was appointed one of the Chancellor's panel of Independent Economic Advisers, the so-called "Wise Men".
Roger Bootle studied at Oxford University and then became a Lecturer in Economics at St. Anne's College, Oxford. Most of his subsequent career has been spent in the City of London. He has written many articles and several books on monetary economics. Roger's latest book, The Trouble with Markets, analyses the deep causes of the recent financial crisis and discusses the threats to capitalism arising from it. His previous book, Money for Nothing, correctly anticipated the financial crisis and has been widely acclaimed. This followed the success of The Death of Inflation, published in 1996, which became a best-seller and was subsequently translated into nine languages. Initially dismissed as extreme, The Death of Inflation is now widely recognised as prophetic. Roger is also joint author of the book Theory of Money, and author of Index-Linked Gilts. Roger is a regular columnist for The Daily Telegraph and appears frequently on television and radio.
