TRANSCRIPT
Andrew CharltonDr. Andrew Charlton is an expert economist who firmly believes that fair
trade practices are crucial to the economic prosperity of the future. In his
book, Fair Trade for All, he and co-author Joseph Stiglitz propose a new, and
perhaps radical model for how developed and developing nations can
conduct business together in the future so that all parties benefit.
Andrew Charlton is someone who
truly feels that quality education is
crucial to the future prosperity of
Australia as well as the rest of the
planet. As someone who attended
Oxford University as a Rhodes
Scholar and earned a doctorate in
Economics, he feels that his
outstanding education was pivotal in
the advancement of his career in
politics, business and authorship.
Of all the challenges that future leaders will
face. Dr. Andrew Charlton sees climate
change as one of the pressing issues that
will not be going away any time soon. As
someone who was once deemed a Young
Global Leader by the World Economic
Forum and represented Australia at the
United Nations Copenhagen Climate
Conference while in his late twenties, Dr.
Charlton is a credible advocate for
environmental awareness.
Fair trade policies are crucial to the economic
development of poorer countries, which is an issue
that people all over the world should take ownership
in. According to Dr. Andrew Charlton, developing
countries who fall behind in the advancement of
clean energy sources and green technologies will be
the perpetrators of excess carbon and methane
emissions, which is something that affects
everybody.
Andrew Charlton is a doctor of
economics who has represented his
home country of Australia at the
G20 Leaders Summit when he was
working as the Senior Economic
Adviser to former Prime Minister
Kevin Rudd. He sees the rise of
Asia’s middle class as opportune for
increased trade with the continent;
a sentiment he expressed in his
latest quarterly essay.
Dr. Andrew Charlton got an early start
in the political arena, serving as an
adviser to former Australian Prime
Minister Kevin Rudd not too long after
receiving his doctorate in economics
from Oxford University. By the time he
was 28, Dr. Charlton had become the
Senior Economic Adviser to the former
PM and was representing his country at
the G20 Leaders Summit.
After working in Australian parliament, Dr. Andrew Charlton
then went on to take a stint in private business. He accepted a
position for Wesfarmers, working in corporate development
and Cole’s corporate. Dr. Charlton was a Rhodes Scholar at
Oxford University, and is deeply interested in the prosperity
of Australia’s future through increasing trade and promoting
commerce.
Andrew Charlton sees technology as a tool that empowers us
to accomplish more within our daily lives. The ability to make
communications and transactions in a real-time manner has
revolutionized the ways that business is conducted; and has
ultimately helped the environment by enabling people to do
more without having to create carbon emissions through
unnecessary travel for business transactions.
