Money makes the world go around; but what is it really? And where does it come from? The rich know how to become richer, but do the poor have inevitably to suffer as a result.
Is our economy on a tipping point? The global economy is recovering from a severe financial crisis. So we think. Or are we heading for a new crisis? Are we witnessing the end of an economic era?
Kinsella:
There may be a temptation to feel like the 2007 crisis is far behind us, that the good times are here again. But there are new threats. The major one: Donald Trump’s protectionist policies.
Van Bavel:
Market economies rise, stagnate, and decline. Are we over the tipping point towards the negative phases of the cycle?
Pettifor:
How can democracies reclaim control over the out-of-control finance sector so that it serves the interests of society, as well as the needs of the ecosystem?
