Roger Bootle is one of the City of London's best known economists. As well as being Economic Adviser to Deloitte, he is also Managing Director of Capital Economics, a Specialist Adviser to the House of Commons Treasury Committee and a Visiting Professor at Manchester Business School.

Roger was formerly Group Chief Economist at HSBC, one of the largest banking and financial services groups in the world. Under the last Conservative government, he was appointed a member of the Chancellor's Panel of Independent Economic Forecasters ("the Wise Men"). He is an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries and a Fellow of the Society of Business Economists. 

Roger has written many articles on monetary economics. His latest book Money for Nothing - Real Wealth, Financial Fantasies and the Economy of the Future, was published recently. This follows the success of The Death of Inflation, published in 1996, which became a best-seller and was subsequently translated into nine languages. Initially dismissed as extreme, The Death of Inflation is now widely recognised as prophetic. Roger is also joint author of the book Theory of Money, and author of Index Linked Gilts.

Roger is a regular columnist for The Sunday Telegraph and a well-known broadcaster on both radio and television.
