Noreena Hertz

 Professor Noreena Hertz (born 24 September 1967, London) is an English economist, author and campaigner.

In her 2002 book The Silent Takeover: Global Capitalism and The Death of Democracy, Hertz warned that unregulated markets, corporate greed, and over-powerful financial institutions would have serious global consequences that would impact most heavily on the ordinary citizen. Following the financial meltdown and recession of 2008-09, many commentators have described Hertz as insightful.

Hertz's books have been published worldwide. Since the publication of The Silent Takeover in 2002, she has regularly appeared on television and radio programmes to discuss economics, politics, and globalisation.
