Biography

Charles-Albert Ramsay is an economist, popularizer, and teacher. The result of a non-linear career path, he has been able to share his passion for economic development with readers and with students. He was trained in economics at the Université de Sherbrooke. His research was interested in technological change, and was inspired by the works of Alfred Marshall, Jane Jacobs, and Michael Porter. A curious person by nature, Mr. Ramsay has travelled extensively in Quebec to report on innovative businesses, as a journalist for Les Affaires, and the Argent-TVA business news television channel. His curiosity will bring him to Sudbury, Ontario, to the Quebec North-Shore, and even to South Africa.
