Chrystia Freeland
Chrystia Freeland is Canada’s former deputy prime minister, foreign minister and minister of finance. With a background in Russian history, she first gained international acclaim as a foreign correspondent and editor for the Financial Times and Reuters, and later served as the deputy editor of the Globe and Mail.
Her first book, Sale of the Century (2000), told the story of the struggle between reformers and oligarchs in 1990s Russia. Her 2012 book, Plutocrats, established her as a leading voice on global economic inequality.
After more than a decade in federal politics, including a pivotal role in renegotiating the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement, Freeland resigned from Parliament in early 2026. She has since served as a resident fellow at Harvard’s Institute of Politics and an unpaid economic adviser to the Ukrainian government.
