James Morgan (BBC Economics Correspondent)

James Morgan (29th December 1938-26th June 2002) was the BBC World Service's Economics Correspondent from 1974 - 1998. He was also a prominent national newspaper columnist, writing a personal column in the Financial Times from 1995 - 1999. He was known for his 'wise, incisive' reporting style and ability to summarise complex economic issues comprehensibly. He began his working life on The Far Eastern Economic Review, a Malaysia-based magazine devoted to financial affairs, before moving to the Centre for Economic Policy Research. During his career at the World Service he reported on all the major international economic events of the period, including the consequences of the fall of the Berlin wall and the first meetings of the G7.

His book, The Last Generation (1996), was a study of the prospects for economic intervention in the progress of global warming. It was written under the auspices of the World Humanity Action Trust, or WHAT.
