Professor David Begg is Principal of the the business school at Imperial College London, currently ranked the world's joint fifth best university (Times Higher Education Supplement, November 2009).

Born in Glasgow, David went to Cambridge in the hope of playing cricket but became fascinated with economics. After also studying at Oxford, he won a Kennedy Scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where Stanley Fischer and Rudiger Dornbusch were his PhD supervisors.

David returned to jobs at Oxford then London universities. In 1983 he got together with Stan and Rudi to write what has become Europe's most successful economics textbook, featured by BBC Radio 4 in its series `Student Bibles' along with other such classics as Gray's Anatomy (with over 100 years' start, now in its 39th edition!).
