Sidney Ball Lecture 2021
Status: This talk is in preparation - details may change
Baroness Minouche Shafik will be talking about her new book, What We Owe Each Other: A New Social Contract, in which she draws on evidence from across the globe to identify key principles for a social contract for every society.
The social contract governs all aspects of society, from politics and law to our families and communities. Accelerating changes in technology, demography, climate and global health, as we have seen over the last year, will reshape our world in ways we have yet to fully grasp. How do we pool risks, share resources and balance individual with collective responsibility? What part do we each have to play?
The lecture will be followed by a reception.
