My Take
Gillian Tett is one of the sharpest economic minds in journalism, and what sets her apart is the lens she brings. Trained as an anthropologist before joining the Financial Times, she famously read the credit markets through a cultural eye and warned about the 2008 crisis when most missed it. I find that crossover genuinely rare. Now serving as provost of King's College, Cambridge, and co-founder of the paper's Moral Money newsletter, she keeps pushing finance toward sustainability and self-awareness. Born in 1967 and Cambridge-educated, she proves that understanding people, not just spreadsheets, is what makes great financial reporting.
