| THE "THINKING PEOPLE" ROUNDTABLE Live debate featuring all the weekend presenters' points of view. |
| Saturday night live with Augusto Lopez Claros
Augusto Lopez Claros The former Chief Economist of the World Economic Forum’s offers his keynote titled: The Future World Economy: The Shape of Things to Come Many hope that in the future we will have a global economy that will be sustainable and equitable, where economic activity will be mindful of the environment and systems will have evolved providing protection for the poor and opportunities for the many. In that future the "struggle for existence" may have given way to the cultivation of our many latent capacities, poverty will have been defeated and there will be institutions to support a process of rising global prosperity. How would we get there? What features of the present system would have evolved—and in what ways—into that new system and what features are likely to have been abandoned? An adventurous look at the 21st century. |
