The pandemic is putting a spotlight on the inequalities in our society. What policies will be needed to address these deep fractures?

Professor Diane Coyle and Martin Sandbu have both published books exploring the economics relating to current policy questions. Although both agree economic policy must play a vital role, they differ in their prescriptions for tackling the symptoms and causes of inequality and other pressing social challenges.

Join them for an enlightened conversation, chaired by Professor Michael Kenny, to discuss the role of the state, covering issues such as environmental policy, productivity, regional differences and the case for and against universal basic income.
