How to build the economy of the future

Monday 27 February 2012, 6.00PM

Speaker: Dr Diane Coyle OBE, Enlightening Economics

Joseph Rowntree Foundation/School of PEP lecture

Since the onset of the financial crisis, which seems to defy all attempts to bring it to an end, a growing number of people have begun to question the fundamentals of an economic system that has benefited only the rich minority. It would be a mistake to conclude that economic growth itself is the problem, however. The trends which have brought about the present instability and inequality are technological and political, as well as financial, and have deep roots. To address them will require substantial institutional reform, on a scale not seen since Victorian times.
