Sean Turnell is Honorary Professor of Economics at Macquarie University. In 2009 he published an influential book on Myanmar's financial system, Fiery Dragons, which made him an internationally recognized expert on the subject and one of Aung San Suu Kyi's most trusted advisers. He was arrested in Myanmar in 2021 following a military coup and imprisoned for 650 days. Sean lives in Sydney with his wife, Ha Vu, who campaigned tirelessly for his release.
