Education
Nomi has vast economic knowledge. It all started with her education. Nomi got her bachelor’s degree in Math from SUNY Purchase. After her undergraduate studies, she went to New York University to get a masters degree in Statistics and a PhD in International Strategic Studies with a specialisation in International Political Economy from The Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.
Wall Street Career
Before she became a renowned journalist and public speaker, Nomi Prins was in the upper tiers of the financial world. For example, she worked as a managing director at Goldman Sachs (the Wall Street bank). She also once ran an international analytics group as a senior managing director at Bear Stearns in London. At one point in her career, Nomi was a senior strategist at Lehman Brothers and an analyst at the Chase Manhattan Bank.
The time she spent on Wall Street as an insider allowed her to learn about the unethical practices that were prevalent in the banking industry. After working in the belly of the beast for many years, she made her exit and decided to pursue a career as an investigative journalist to shed light on the ways that financial systems are corrupted to benefit an elite few at the expense of other people, or what’s often called, “main street.”
Nomi Prins’ Books

Permanent Distortion

She has also been trying to provide people with actionable ways to deal with the situation.
Collusion
Nomi’s book, Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged the World, explores how central banks consolidated power and gained control of the financial system.
