Andrew Charlton is an expert in macroeconomics. He earned a Doctorate in Economics from Oxford University, where he later taught. Charlton has focused much of his literature on economics on macroeconomics and how developing countries can enter the ever more globalized stage of the world economy.
Andrew Charlton (author of several books), including Ozonomics, an economics book aimed at everyday people explaining what the truly important economic issues of our time are and how they affect major parts of our lives, from our salaries to the kinds of produce we find in our stores. Although the book was marketed towards a mostly Australian audience, readers from all over the world have discovered Charlton’s information and voice and have taken much from reading the book.
In Ozonomics, Andrew Charlton argues that the most important economic issues facing the world right now, despite what politicians and others say, are workers’ rights, protectionism, immigration and investment in both technology and education. Charlton argues that these factors are the true economic issues of our time, and will continue to affect the economies of all nations around the world in the next fifty years. Charlton has studied and written extensively on the effect of the environment on the world’s economy. Throughout his time as a researcher and student, he has found the cause of reversing the effects of climate change to be one of the most important causes in the world.
Andrew Charlton has written books with Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, a brilliant mind in macroeconomics. Stiglitz is a professor at Columbia University and worked as the World Bank Chief Economist previously in his career. Charlton has been extremely honored to work with Stiglitz on several books, including Fair Trade for All, a treatise on the rights of poor countries to have a chance of developing their economy using a more liberalized system of global trade outlined by the authors.
Charlton and Stiglitz offer a critique of traditional global trade models and outline where these models could be improved for the benefit of developing nations only trying to enter the world stage. The authors consider their solutions to help countries create opportunities for themselves and find ways of developing their domestic economies. Some of the pair’s solutions seem far-fetched politically, but their ideas have helped steer the conversation around free trade toward justice and fairness for all countries.
Andrew Charlton has an extensive academic and professional resume. He taught at Oxford University, a former economic advisor to former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, a former representative of Australia at G20 summits from 2008 to 2010, and a former strategist for one of Australia’s largest companies, Wesfarmers.
Charlton worked for Wesfarmers as a business strategist and an operations manager for four years, during which time the company employed hundreds of thousands more people and grew to accommodate more consumers in its business plan. Charlton is a director at AlphaBeta, a strategy and management firm based in Sydney and Singapore, a member of the Melbourne Economic Forum, and an honorary fellow of Melbourne University.
