27 JAN, 202117:30 h

We’ll be live on Wednesday, 27 January 2021 at 17:30 h (CET/UTC+1)

In this webinar, Martin Sandbu, the Financial Times’s European Economics Commentator, will be debating the key ideas of his most recent book, The Economics of Belonging, with Toni Roldán, Director of EsadeEcPol. In particular, they will analyse the root causes of our current challenges in light of the increasing polarisation of values and the widespread rejection of the economic and political order established after 1945. Since this situation, fuelled by populism and the frustrations of the disenfranchised, has widened inequality, they will argue why the economy is at the heart of the problem and how the right policies can help address it.
