Policymakers are in crisis management mode, after the emergence and rapid spread of Covid-19. But what will the world look like when we emerge from our cocooned existences and try to kickstart our economies? Two of the world's top economic thinkers ponder this question, in this virtual discussion hosted by the World Economic Forum. Martin Wolf is the highly respected chief economics commentator for the Financial Times. He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the British Empire) in 2000 “for services to financial journalism”. Wolf examines the question from the British perspective. Mariana Mazzucato, who has Italian-US roots, is Professor of Economics of Innovation and Public Value; Founder and Director, Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, University College London. She is the author of The Value of Everything: Making and Taking in the Global Economy, which was shortlisted for the Financial Times-McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award. They share fascinating insights on a situation that could easily re-shape the world on the scale that followed World War II. - Jackie Cameron Learn more about your ad choices.
