Ann first rose to global prominence as a leading voice in the Jubilee 2000 campaign, which successfully secured the cancellation of around $100 billion in debt owed by the world’s poorest nations. Her leadership also contributed to Nigeria’s landmark clearance of $30 billion in sovereign debt in 2005.
A sharp critic of mainstream economic orthodoxy, Ann predicted the 2008 global financial crisis in her influential book The Coming First World Debt Crisis (2006), which made her one of the few economists to foresee the systemic collapse. She has since become a leading advocate for a just economic transition through policy reform and responsible finance.
