Ideas matter. They have been core to the advances in health, education, and economic development the world has seen since the second world war. But societies and global institutions now need to evolve to address daunting challenges, including climate change, inequality and make the most of the opportunities and manage the risks arising from new technologies. The panel brings together the leaders of the world’s premier economic institutions to discuss how ideas have evolved to shape our world and what is needed for the future.
