Economic growth has stalled. Let's fix it

Title:
Economic growth has stalled. Let's fix it
Speaker:
Dambisa Moyo
Description:

Economic growth is the defining challenge of our time, in both advanced and developing countries. Without it, political and social instability rises, human progress stagnates and societies grow dimmer. But according to economist Dambisa Moyo, capitalism -- the system we think of as the main driver of economic growth -- isn’t working. In both state-sponsored and market-driven models, capitalism is failing to solve social ills, fostering corruption and creating income inequality. In this talk, Moyo surveys the current economic landscape and suggests that we have to start thinking about capitalism as a spectrum so we can blend the best of different models together to foster growth.
