CED will host author Sebastian Mallaby at the first of CED's new series of policy luncheons. Mallaby’s new book is More Money Than God, an in-depth look at the role of hedge funds in the economic downturn that began in fall 2008. He is director of the Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies (CGS) in Washington, D.C. Mr. Mallaby will speak for 20 minutes and then we will have a discussion open to the audience. His full bio is below.
The CED Policy Luncheon series will feature notable authors, elected officials, economists, government officials, and journalists who are working on issues related to CED’s projects. Our new conference room holds 50 people comfortably, so we will cap RSVPs at that number. These sessions will be a unique opportunity to get first-hand access to the ideas and thoughts of key policy experts as they work on the major challenges to our economy and society. I expect most of these sessions to be held in Washington, D.C., but we will also seek to hold the luncheons in New York City and other areas as we are able. I welcome suggestions for future speakers at these luncheons. If you are able to attend, I urge you to RSVP promptly. Sandwiches and other light luncheon items will be served.
About Sebastian Mallaby
Sebastian Mallaby is director of the Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies (CGS) and Paul A. Volcker senior fellow for international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). An experienced journalist and an acclaimed author, Mr. Mallaby joined CFR from the Washington Post, where he served as a columnist and editorial board member. In addition to his oversight of the CGS, Mr. Mallaby is examining how the interplay of economics and politics is shaping international relations and recently completed a book on hedge funds. His interests cover a wide variety of domestic and international issues, including globalization, the implications of the rise of newly emerging powers, trade and investment trends, international development, and economic policy.
In 2003, Mr. Mallaby went on leave from the Washington Post to become a senior fellow at CFR, where he wrote a history of the World Bank under James Wolfensohn. The book, entitled The World’s Banker, was published in October 2004. It was named as an “Editor’s Choice” by the New York Times and became a Washington Post bestseller. An essay in the Financial Times commented that “Mallaby's book may well be the most hilarious depiction of a big organization and its controversial boss since Michael Lewis's, Liar’s Poker.” His latest book More Money Than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite was released in June 2010.
Before joining the Post in 1999, Mr. Mallaby spent thirteen years with the Economist. While at the Economist, he worked in London, where he wrote about foreign policy and international finance; in Africa, where he covered Nelson Mandela’s release and the collapse of apartheid; and in Japan, where he covered the breakdown of the country’s political and economic consensus. Between 1997 and 1999, Mr. Mallaby was the Economist’s Washington bureau chief and wrote the magazine’s weekly Lexington column on American politics and foreign policy.
Mr. Mallaby has also contributed to numerous other publications, including Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Prospect (UK), New York Times, The New Republic, Slate, Policy Review, and National Interest. He is the author of After Apartheid: The Future of South Africa, which was listed by the New York Times as one of the notable books of 1992. His Foreign Affairs essay on failed states in 2002 was cited by commentators in the New York Times, Financial Times, and Time Magazine. He is a two-time Pulitzer prize finalist: once for editorials on Darfur and once for a series on economic inequality.
Mr. Mallaby was educated at Oxford. He graduated in 1986 with a First Class degree in modern history. |

Former Senate Budget Chairman Pete Domenici and Former OMB and CBO Director Alice Rivlin to lead Task Force that will produce specific budget plan for consideration by the Administration, Congress and the American People
Calling America’s fiscal path “unsustainable,” the Bipartisan Policy Center today launched its Debt Reduction Task Force to develop a comprehensive, bipartisan plan to reduce projected federal debt. Co-Chaired by former Senator Pete Domenici and Dr. Alice Rivlin, the Domenici-Rivlin Task Force will develop a comprehensive, balanced, and politically-viable package of spending reductions and revenue increases for expedited consideration by Congress and the Administration. |

CED has strongly supported fiscal responsibility throughout 66 years of work on federal budget issues. Over the past two years, CED leaders, including Vice President and Director of Research Joseph Minarik, have taken part in the national "Fiscal Wake-Up Tour" with former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker. Mr. Walker is featured in the new documentary film, "I.O.U.S.A." opening in movie theaters on August 21, 2008. We recommend "I.O.U.S.A." to anyone interested in the long-term economic health of the United States.
