I am delighted to announce that TMR will be hosting a live 60-minute conference call and Q & A session with Dr. Dambisa Moyo, an international economist and one of the world’s leading experts on macroeconomics and global affairs. She is the author of the recently published book Winner Take All: China’s Race For Resources And What It Means For The World.
The live call is scheduled for 9:15 AM EST on Monday, July 16, 2012.
In addition to her new book Winner Take All, Dr. Moyo is the New York Times bestselling author of How The West Was Lost: Fifty Years Of Economic Folly – And The Stark Choices Ahead, and Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working And How There Is A Better Way For Africa. Her work regularly appears in economic and finance-related publications such as the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal.
Dr. Moyo was named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, and was named to the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders Forum. She holds a doctorate in Economics from Oxford University and a masters degree from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Dr. Moyo completed an undergraduate degree in Chemistry and an MBA in Finance at the American University in Washington, DC.
You are welcome to join us on the free call. The focus of our discussion will be the important issues raised by Dr. Moyo in Winner Take All, which include:

- What recent events in the rare-earths market can tell us about China’s approach to mineral commodities and other hard assets;
- The rapidly evolving dynamics of the China – Africa relationship;
- What all of this means for the rest of world;
