“The Rise of the East and What it Means for the West”
with Nigel Holloway of the Economist Intelligence Unit
Nigel Holloway joined the Economist Intelligence Unit in April 2004 as director for the Americas in the editorial department of Executive Services, which conducts research and publishes reports sponsored by companies. This is his second stint at The Economist, having worked for the newspaper in 1980-86, first in London and then in Singapore as the Southeast Asia correspondent. Before this, he was a journalist at the BBC. In 1986, he joined the Far Eastern Economic Review, a news magazine based in Hong Kong, first in Singapore, then Tokyo, Hong Kong and Washington D.C. In 1997, he became the founding deputy editor of the international edition of Forbes magazine, based in New York where he worked for five years, subsequently setting up on his own as an editorial consultant until he joined the Economist Intelligence Unit. Nigel was a journalist on newspapers, magazines, newswires, TV and radio in Europe, the Americas, Australasia and Africa. He co-wrote a book on the Japanese stock market called Unequal Equities and edited another on Japan's relationship with Asia. He gained his bachelor's degree from Magdalen College, Oxford, and spent 1993-94 at Harvard in the US-Japan Program.
