Join Joe Zammit-Lucia and Michael Barzelay in conversation as they explore Joe's recent book, The New Political Capitalism - How businesses and societies can thrive in a deeply politicized world.
We are transitioning from the age of financialised capitalism to one of political capitalism. The discussion will explore how political issues ranging from geopolitical rivalry to climate and environment to culture wars to wealth inequality to diversity and inclusion are now affecting every aspect of business activity and increasingly taking priority over economic considerations. Which businesses and brands can adapt appropriately and thrive in the emerging era - and how?
