Скачать или смотреть Future of Capitalism #7: Aligning Economies Worldwide to End Poverty

Worldwide poverty has been reduced tremendously over the last couple of decades. International trade and ‘neoliberal’ economic policies are said to have contributed to this success. At the same time, it remains questionable if these successes can be celebrated given so-called developing countries’ increased inequality and increased dependency on volatile international markets. Resources, exploited by multinational firms and investors, are extracted without the local communities benefiting or receiving fair compensation.

In this dialogue, part of a series on The Future of Capitalism, we’ll discuss how economic instruments can be put into place on both the international level and national level that will enable markets to serve the poor. Nobel prize winner Muhammad Yunus will highlight the role and development of micro credits, whereas we will question economist and UN SDG advocate Jeffrey Sachs about the impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on markets.

This dialogue is organized in collaboration with Pakhuis De Zwijger and part of the Future Market Consultation: https://www.moralmarkets.org/futurema...
