Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
Andrew Leigh was born in Sydney in 1972 and built the kind of résumé that made several careers possible. He took first-class honours degrees in arts and law at the University of Sydney, went on to Harvard for an MPA and a PhD in public policy, worked as a lawyer in Sydney and London, served as associate to Justice Michael Kirby, and then moved into economics because he saw it as a stronger tool for addressing poverty and disadvantage. By his mid-thirties he had become a professor of economics at the Australian National University. The decisive turning point came in 2010, when he left academia for electoral politics, carrying with him a family ethic that, as he later put it, treated a life well lived as a life of service.
