    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. There is a prevailing view that countries that aim for frontier innovation should forgo the quest for social insurance and 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.
