Philippe Aghion: Rethinking capitalism
At a time of increasing economic uncertainty and upheaval, Philippe Aghion's lecture will be a timely assessment of policy approaches to innovation, growth and (in)equality.

In this lecture Aghion will argue against that view, showing how policies for education, competition and the labour market can both foster innovation and make growth more inclusive.
