Joe Studwell is a journalist and bestselling author known for his work on East Asian economic development. His 2014 book, How Asia Works, explores the different economic and political trajectories of Asian countries after WW2, and was named by Bill Gates as one of his Top 5 Books of the Year.

Joe is now working on a new book asking similar questions of economic development, this time exploring: How Africa Works, set for release early next year.
