Martin Wolf - The Great Transformation

Our world is undergoing five fundamental transformations: a changing global balance of power; a backlash against globalisation; the rise of populism and authoritarianism; a technological transformation; and rising awareness of environmental limits. In his address, Martin Wolf argues that these forces have created a series of inter-linked economic and political crises, as shown in the election of Donald Trump, the China-US trade war, Brexit, the backlash against immigration and the weakening of global co-operation. Mr Wolf discusses what role the EU can play in tackling these challenges, and how this transformation might end.
