Ben Norton is a journalist and the founder and editor-in-chief of the Geopolitical Economy Report, an independent media outlet dedicated to providing in-depth news and analysis of global political and economic developments. Currently based in Beijing, China, Norton's work centers on international relations, US foreign policy, the dynamics of capitalism, and the ongoing shift towards a multipolar international order. He brings a critical, anti-imperialist lens to his analysis, examining themes such as de-dollarization, the expansion of the BRICS bloc, the impact of sanctions and trade wars, and the influence of billionaires and corporations on global events. A seasoned journalist, Norton previously contributed to various outlets including Salon, AlterNet, FAIR, The Real News, and The Intercept, and founded the Multipolarista project before launching the Geopolitical Economy Report. His analytical style is characterized by incorporating historical context and economic theory into his reporting on current events. A key feature of the Geopolitical Economy Report is the regular collaboration with renowned critical economists such as Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson, with whom Norton co-hosts "The Geopolitical Economy Hour," providing deep dives into complex global economic and geopolitical shifts. The platform has become a significant source for audiences seeking perspectives that challenge mainstream Western narratives, particularly concerning the Global South, international law, and the evolving global power structure.
