Alfred Moss

Alfred Moss is an old-school economist, an expert on global markets, and a man who knows just about everything there is to know about commerce—from Soviet shortages to Israeli high-tech.

At nearly sixty, Alfred represents a rare breed of academic analyst with a colossal background in real-world practice. He began his economic career in the late Soviet Union, working in Kyiv. In the turbulent nineties, as the world he knew was rapidly changing, Alfred decided to relocate to the land of his ancestors—Israel. There, his fundamental knowledge and Kyiv-bred business acumen proved invaluable: he dedicated the next thirty years to a major Ukrainian-Israeli trading company, building bridges between the businesses of both nations during the most challenging times.

Yet, Alfred has no intention of turning into a bored retiree. Settling on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, he fulfilled a long-held dream by opening a cozy coffee shop in a quiet, leafy neighborhood. Today, his life follows an ideal, measured rhythm: by day, he oversees the roasting of coffee beans, and by evening, he sits at a far table in his establishment with a cup of flawless espresso, writing articles for Tala knows.

For our portal, Alfred Moss is a legendary and sacrosanct figure, and to our editor-in-chief, he is a long-standing friend. His pieces on macroeconomics, inflation, and trade wars are entirely stripped of dry academic dullness; instead, they are rich with worldly wisdom, the subtle irony of a man who has witnessed the collapse of empires, and a profound understanding of how money actually moves through this world.
