Senior Editor, Opinion Columnist at Bloomberg & Author of "The Fearful Rise of Markets, Europe's Financial Crisis"
John Authers Biography
John Authers is a Senior Editor and Opinion Columnist for Bloomberg News where he writes a daily column and creates a newsletter for Bloomberg Opinion. Previously, John was at the Financial Times' for 29 years. As Chief Investment Columnist, he has long been one of the most influential economic journalists in the world, editing the "Lex" column and authoring the "Short View" and "Long View" columns. In addition to the three full-length columns on finance, investing, and markets he writes each week, John keeps himself at the vanguard of new media, offering FT economic analysis via video in his daily “Authers’ Note” segment. The lessons of this remarkable career have come to fruition in two hard-hitting books about the instability of current markets: The Fearful Rise of Markets and now Europe's Financial Crisis.
These two books together illuminate the fragile state of the modern global economy. The Fearful Rise of Markets exposes how the previously disconnected markets of stocks, bonds and commodities became locked together — and crashed together. Here John established himself as a trenchant critic of the contemporary money management industry, identifying the way fund managers operate and charge for their work as a main driver of the crisis. Europe's Financial Crisis was a sequel, addressing the practical consequences of the crash for Europe and showing that any way out of the euro’s crisis would involve deep economic pain for Europe — and create problems around the world. Taken together, the books mark John out as one of most trusted navigators of the globalised financial world.
Mr. Authers appears frequently on television and radio. A regular guest host on CNBC, he has also appeared on the BBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR and PBS. His work as a journalist has been widely recognised; in 2010, he was named Senior Journalist of the Year by the Wincott Foundation, the premier award for UK financial journalists. He has also twice been named the UK’s investment journalist of the year, while in the US, his videos have twice been honoured at the Society of American Business Editors and Writers' Best in Business awards. He is also the co-author of The Victim's Fortune, an investigative account of the financial consequences of the Holocaust.

John Authers Speaking Topics
-
Value Investing
An alumnus of the Columbia Business School class in Value Investing which was started by Benjamin Graham and taken by Warren Buffett, John can enthusiastically address the issues surrounding value investing. It appears to have performed worse since the crisis — but, as he argues, it is still the best bet for the long term.
-
Banking Regulation and its Flaws
Why did the crisis happen? Because, in large part, banks and investment companies were inadequately regulated. Has anything been done to fix this? From the Volcker Rule through Basel IIII to proposals to bring back Glass-Steagall, John has had a front-row seat, frequently inveighing in columns against the weakness of the re-regulation that followed the crisis.
