Vivek Kaul writes regularly in several newspapers including the Mint, BBC, Dainik Jagran, Firstpost and Bangalore Mirror. He earlier worked at senior positions with the Daily News and Analysis (DNA) and The Economic Times. Vivek is the author of five books. His Easy Money trilogy on the history of money and banking, and how that caused the financial crisis that started in 2008 and which still continues, was first published between 2013 and 2015 and was re-published by HarperCollins in 2018. The Hindu had this to say about Kaul and Easy Money: “This indigenous writer has written a book which is truly global in every sense. [We] would take the liberty of placing him in the same league as a Niall Ferguson or a Peter Bernstein, even though this is Vivek Kaul’s first book.” Al Ries, the globally respected author and marketing consultant wrote: “Forget what you think you know about money and read the true, absorbing tale told by Vivek Kaul in his thorough, but fascinating book, Easy Money. A great read.” The Easy Money trilogy has been translated into Hindi. Vivek’s fourth book India’s Big Government – The Intrusive State and How It Is Hurting Us, was published in 2017 and his fifth, Bad Money, will soon be published. Vivek has appeared on the BBC, Mirror Now, CNBC Awaaz and NDTV India in discussions on various aspects of India’s economy and other topics. He has also taken to podcasting and is a regular guest on the Seen and the Unseen, one of India’s most popular podcasts on economics. He also speaks regularly on economics and finance in various forums and has lectured, among others, at IIM-Bangalore, IIM-Indore, IIM-Kozhikode, IIM-Vishakhapatnam, NMIMS, SIMSREE, TAPMI and the Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication.
