Rana Foroohar

FT Columnist & CNN Analyst, Expert on Post-Global Economics

Rana Foroohar is best known for tracking what happens when an economic system

reaches its limits. Her work sits at the fault line where global finance, national politics, and lived economic reality collide.

As a journalist and author focused on the architecture of capitalism, she examines how decades of hyper-globalisation reshaped wealth, hollowed out resilience, and concentrated power, and why that model is now being quietly dismantled. Rana shows how supply chains, financial markets, industrial policy, and geopolitics are no longer separate conversations, but expressions of the same structural shift. She brings attention to the return of the state, the re-pricing of risk, and the growing tension between efficiency and security.

For leaders, her insight is not about predicting the next cycle but understanding why the rules of the game themselves are changing, and why localisation is not retreat, but recalibration.

The Foroohar Effect

Economic change is seen as structural not cyclical.

Leaders come away able to:

Recognise why the global economic model is being re-engineered
Understand localisation as power redistribution, not protectionism

Read supply chains, finance, and geopolitics as one system
Anticipate how policy, markets, and resilience now interact
Make decisions aligned with long-term economic reality

Why Book Rana

Rana Foroohar brings intellectual independence to conversations about global change. She does not argue for nostalgia or ideology, she explains why systems evolve when their assumptions break. Her perspective is trusted by leaders navigating exposure across markets, borders, and political regimes.
