Gabrielle Harris was born in the 1950s but is striving to stay current in the 21st century. She has spent almost a lifetime working and gathering information about economic systems and alternative models in many countries and political systems, from Conservative Party England in the 1970s to Communist China in the early 1980s. Gabrielle has done a wide spectrum of work from building corporate wealth to direct investment, working in poverty alleviation and financial inclusion, through to being an entrepreneur and running consulting companies to bridge across cultures and economic systems. With such a varied background, it is hard for her to believe in any given orthodoxy or perhaps even a single hard and fast truth.
