Global Overview: Measuring the Winds of Change

Global Overview: Measuring the Winds of Change

In a world that often seems consumed by populism and a winner-take-all economy, driving shared prosperity is top of mind. While global policy continues in a state of flux—surrounding trade, recession fears, and, yes, Brexit—living standards continue to rise as technology leaps forward and economies continue their slow but steady growth. But how can we ensure that we engage and deal with the issues that could unsettle society while expanding opportunities across countries? This session will dissect some of the most pressing global challenges to get to the underlying factors of what moves the world today.
