Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, has carved out a remarkable global career in journalism and economics — one that spans continents and cultures. In this special live episode recorded at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Zanny joins Emily for a conversation about her unexpected path from a rural England farm to the helm of one of the world’s most influential publications. She shares the pivotal moments that shaped her journey: studying in Germany as a child, navigating post-Communist economic reform in Poland, and forgoing a job at Goldman Sachs to pursue policy at the International Monetary Fund. She also opens up about being a woman in traditionally male-dominated fields, the importance of diverse perspectives in shaping global narratives, and why she believes the values The Economist champions — free trade, individual freedom, open markets — are more vital now than ever.
