John Kay (born 1948) is a British economist whose career has spanned academia, business, finance, and public policy. He is a Fellow of St John's College, Oxford, and has served as director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Professor of Economics at London Business School, and the first director of Oxford University's Saïd Business School. His work examines corporate strategy, finance, market economies, and decision-making, combining economic research with experience in business and public policy. In "The Truth About Markets: Why Some Nations Are Rich but Most Remain Poor," Kay defends the strengths of market economies while challenging market fundamentalism and the assumption that markets function primarily through individual self-interest. Drawing on economic and business examples from around the world, he argues that successful markets depend on institutions, social norms, trust, and culture.
