by Edmund Luce
Based in Washington, D.C., he is an English journalist, columnist, and author best known for his work at the Financial Times. Over the years he has served in several major roles at the paper, including Washington bureau chief, South Asia bureau chief, and chief U.S. commentator.
His writing focuses on politics, economics, and international relations, especially the shifting balance between the United States and the rest of the world. Alongside his journalism, he has written books on India, the crisis of the American middle class, and the life of strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski.
What makes his work stand out is its mix of global perspective and readable style. He often takes complicated political and economic changes and turns them into clear, engaging narratives for non-specialist readers.
