Nii Moi Thompson
Dr. Thompson is a Public Intellectual of many parts. He was for a number of years Spokesperson on the Economy for one of Ghana's leading opposition parties, the Convention Peoples’ Party (the political organization formed by Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah). He has been affiliated with a number of renowned research institutions in Ghana, most notably the Institute Democratic Governance. Dr. Thompson has published extensively across the social and political economy literature, though with a perceptible slant towards the historicist and developmentalist strains within the discipline. In recent times, some local and international media have taken to calling him “Ghana's leading Economist”. He presently heads the Development Policy Institute as Executive Director.
