Event details

"The London Consensus: Economic Principles for the 21st Century" presents policy proposals from discussions convened among 50 of the world’s leading economists and policy experts at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) edited by Timothy Besley, Irene Bucelli, and Andres Velasco.
The discussions explore the immense challenges humanity faces: climate change, pandemics, social inequalities, the far-reaching effects of the tech revolution and AI, a fragmenting world economy, and a wave of populism and political polarization that has undermined support for liberal democracy in many countries.
The findings are not intended as a one-size-fits-all set of economic remedies, but rather an exercise in assembling the best available evidence and ideas to foster dialogue, and ultimately to develop a set of principles that can address the urgent political, social and economic tasks ahead.
Join us for a discussion of the London Consensus project with Timothy Besley, Professor of Economics and Political Science and W. Arthur Lewis Professor of Development Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
