Iñigo Moré at the People's Global Action May 10th 2014
Iñigo Moré (born 1968) is a Spanish researcher and non-fiction writer focused on the meaning of globalization for many developing countries, that most times include economic inequality, migration, illicit financial flows and migrants' remittances. Moré has authored six books, including The Borders of Inequality, that was considered as “one of the most anticipated books “ of 2011 by Huffington Post and an “important contribution to border studies” Moré considers that borders are "areas of discountinuity", and that they may exist independently of their political configuration. As geography creates "natural borders", economic inequality has also the capacity to create borders. Not only between nations, but also within them, as it happens between the richest and poorest neighbourhoods of the world's main cities.
His book La Vida en la Frontera was considered in Spain the 6th best non fiction book of the year 2007 by El Cultural, the books supplement of the newspaper El Mundo
Iñigo More’s specialization led him to be the sole Spanish writer invited in 2012 to the 10th anniversary National Latino Writers Conference organized by the National Hispanic Cultural Centre in Albuquerque
In his professional life, Moré is an expert in payment systems. He is the founder of the research centre Remesas, that specializes in studying remittances.
