DESCRIPTION:We are justified to say that we are living through a new age o
 f globalisation\, which Professor Jeff Sachs calls the Digital Age. The hu
 gely disruptive changes were already with us before Covid-19\, but now we
 ’ve been hurled head-first into the new age.\n\nIt is marked by enormous
  geopolitical\, technological\, and environmental disruptions\, posing gre
 at risks as well as opportunities. To understand the Digital Age better\, 
 it is enormously valuable to gain a historical perspective.\n\nProfessor J
 eff Sachs' new book The Ages of Globalization and this talk\, explores the
  interactions of technology\, geography\, and institutions throughout huma
 n history\, describing seven ages of globalisation and the nature of socie
 tal change from one age to the next.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Jeffrey Sachs (
 Columbia University)
