Her work examines the interplay between rapidly developing countries, international business, and the global economy, while highlighting key opportunities for investment.

Her third book, "Winner Take All: China’s Race for Resources and What it Means for the World," was published in June 2012 and premiered at #13 on the New York Times best-seller list.

Dr. Moyo was named as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World” by TIME Magazine and to the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders Forum.

Democracy Under Siege: Timelines and Policy Trajectory after Trump and BREXIT

The Coming Global Commodity Crisis

Since 2009, commodity prices have increased over 150%. Dambisa Moyo reveals how commodity scarcity is one of the biggest challenges the world will face over the next decade, leading to higher commodity prices, increased risk of commodity-related conflicts (already there are 25 on-going conflicts around the world with their origins in commodities), and a notable decline in living standards. She details how insatiable commodity demand emanating from a rising global population, increasing wealth, particularly in the emerging world, and rapid urbanization, will outstrip the worlds resource supply of arable land, water, energy and minerals. She explains how forecasts for technology innovations, substitutes (such as shale and non-fossil fuels – solar, wind, nuclear) are overestimated and overly optimistic, and how their risks are not adequately understood. In this context she will discuss how and which specific commodities investors ought to buy versus sell across tradable (energy, minerals) and non-tradable (land, water) commodities, which are all scarce, finite and depleting.
