DEBATE: REBUILDING A DIFFERENT ECONOMY

It was a pleasure to participate in this debate for Thomson Reuters Foundation’s annual Trust Conference, with Professor Ian Goldin, Livia Firth, David Craig and James Irungu Mwangi. We discussed practical ways that we can rebuild not just better, but differently, from this pandemic. It’s clear that if we really want to use this moment to help shape a better future, then we need to go beyond the buzzwords to the inequities at the heart of global economy – in how wealth and power are shared and how work is rewarded, especially how caring responsibilities, often unpaid, predominantly done by women and girls.
