Join us for a conversation on globalisation, development and systemic risk post-COVID 19 with Professor Ian Goldin of Oxford University. Professor Goldin is the author of multiple books including The Butterfly Defect: How Globalization Creates Systemic Risks, and What to Do About It, and has also served as the Vice-President of the World Bank, Founding Director of the Oxford Martin School and an advisor to Nelson Mandela.
We will explore questions including:
- What is systemic risk, and how can we mitigate it in our globalised systems?
- How has the response to COVID-19 been shaped by the norms and assumptions of free-market capitalism? What impact has this had?
- We have seen a rise in nationalism in many countries following the COVID-19 pandemic. What impact could this have in our efforts to mitigate systemic risk?
- What can we learn from our response to the 2008 financial crisis, and what is different about this moment?
- Is there a "future of capitalism" - or do we need a more radical rethink of our socioeconomic systems, and the way that we distribute wealth and power?
- What is the role of social investors and philanthropists in building better socioeconomic systems?
