BIOGRAPHY
Moisés Naím is a Distinguished Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, an internationally syndicated columnist, and a leading global analyst of international politics and economics.
For over three decades, Dr. Naím has been at the forefront of diagnosing the structural shifts reshaping the modern world. He is the author of numerous influential books, including the New York Times bestseller The End of Power (2013)—notable for being selected by Mark Zuckerberg as the inaugural launch for his global book club—and The Revenge of Power (2022), which introduced the critical "3P Framework" (Populism, Polarization, and Post-Truth) to explain the global surge in autocracy. His latest work, Charlatans: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Hucksters Bamboozle the Media, the Markets, and the Masses (2025, co-authored with Quico Toro), provides a vital autopsy of how information architectures are manipulated by modern opportunists.
Dr. Naím previously served as the Editor-in-Chief of Foreign Policy magazine, transforming it into a multi-award-winning global publication. His public service career includes serving as Venezuela’s Minister of Trade and Industry, Director of the Central Bank of Venezuela, and Executive Director of the World Bank. He is also the creator, host, and executive producer of Efecto Naím, an Emmy-winning weekly television program on international affairs broadcast across the Americas. Dr. Naím holds a Ph.D. and master's degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
