About the author
Jason Kirby is a Canadian journalist and editor who has written extensively about business, politics, and public affairs. He has worked as a reporter for The Globe and Mail, and his own professional site says he previously worked as a freelance journalist and editor after getting his start in business journalism around 2000.
He has covered a wide range of subjects, from financial markets and economic policy to technology, science, and history. Maclean’s describes him as a Toronto-based editor and journalist, which fits the broad, curious style of his work.
For audiobook listeners, that background suggests an author who is comfortable turning complex topics into accessible stories. His writing is best suited to readers who enjoy smart nonfiction, current affairs, and business reporting that stays grounded in real life.
