Alongside Sunday Times responsibilities and columns in Professional Investor and Industrial Review, David is a prolific author on macroeconomics. David reflects on the priorities of government, business and individuals, and explores the interaction of tax, inflation and the costs of everything from fuel to employing people. He also looks at the findings of his own Skip Index - a look at how many houses are undertaking renovation work, and a reliable indicator of the state of the domestic economy.
David Smith is Economics Editor of The Sunday Times, as well as the paper’s Assistant Editor and Policy Advisor, and a regular contributor to the CBI’s Business Voice. Amongst the first to predict a V-shaped recovery in the aftermath of the financial crisis, he was careful to say that it would take time to become discernible.
A widely respected economics commentator, David is the author of several books, including From Boom to Bust, Will Europe Work?, The Age of Instability, and The Dragon and the Elephant: China, India and the New World Order. His most recent work, Free Lunch, is a guide to economics for the lay-person now that it seems essential we all understand the subject.
Before moving to the nation’s most widely read Sunday broadsheet, David worked for The Times and Financial Weekly - as well as the Henley Centre for Forecasting and Lloyds Bank. He has won a number of prizes, including the Harold Wincott Award for Financial Journalist of the Year.
