Dr. Jin is a tenured professor of economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Born and raised in Beijing, she attended high school and college in the United States and holds a BA, MA, and PhD in economics from Harvard University.

Her most recent book is The New China Playbook – Beyond Socialism and Capitalism . In it, she argues that many in the West misunderstand China’s economic and political models.
