Constantin Gurdgiev (Russian: Константин Гурджиев, Konstantin Gurdzhiyev; born 1970) is a Russian economist based in Dublin, Ireland.[2] He is a former editor of Business & Finance Magazine and a regular panelist on Tonight with Vincent Browne on TV3.

In resigning from Newstalk, broadcaster Eamon Dunphy described Gurdgiev as one of the "dissenting voices" that management at the radio station wanted off the airwaves.[3] Cork Fine Gael TD Áine Collins notoriously said that Gurdgiev should "get on a plane back to Moscow", such was the level of his criticism of the party's policies when in government.[4]

Gurdgiev identifies as a libertarian.[5][6]

On November 2013, Gurdgiev gave a TedX talk on Human Capital that widely received as one of the most fascinating outlooks on the future of employment and the 'gig-economy'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1sueM_jhSk. A synopsis of the talk: Constantin feels that global economy is shifting toward more human capital-intensive growth, driven by changing nature of entrepreneurship, creativity, and altering the relationship between risk taking, risk management and returns to labour. In this age of what he calls Human Capital, existent systems of political power distribution, taxation and public services will undergo a revolutionary transformation, presenting a major challenge to the advanced economies and their social democracies.
