The World is Curved: Hidden Dangers to the Global Economy

David Smick is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Smick International, Inc. (JSI), a financial market advisory firm based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1985 (as Smick Medley International Inc.), the firm was the first of its kind to provide strategic informational services on important global economic and political/policy changes to the large macroeconomic-oriented hedge funds and proprietary trading departments of major financial institutions. In 1990 then-Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Manuel H. Johnson joined the firm. Today, JSI clients consist of a select group of prestigious financial institutions located throughout the world.

David Smick is the author of The World is Curved: Hidden Dangers to the Global Economy (Penguin Porfolio, 2008). Selected by former President Bill Clinton as one of the top three books to read on the global financial crisis, the book has appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list. The book was described as “astonishingly prescient” by New York Times columnist David Brooks, “eerily prescient” by Washington Post Columnist David Ignatius, “supremely prescient” by Forbes magazine, and simply “prescient” by the Wall Street Journal. CNN called Smick “one of the most respect economic thinkers in the country.”
