Description
Think differently: How would you shape tomorrow’s global economy? What are the key issues that you think must be factored into building a more inclusive world? The worst financial, economic and social crisis of our lifetime led to widespread condemnation of “business as usual” and calls to revisit, rethink, and test new approaches to economic and societal challenges. We need to rethink the kind of society we want and reexamine the economic models and other tools we use to create it.
