from RSA Conversations Hosted by Jonathan Portes, Matthew Taylor

Global crises cause big changes and reveal deep structural weaknesses. As drastic measures are taken across the world to stop the spread of COVID-19, what are the short, medium and long term implications for our society, our economy, geopolitics - and us as individuals? In this special interview series from the RSA, its chief executive, Matthew Taylor, talks to a range of practitioners - from scholars to business leaders, politicians to journalists - to assess the scale of the response and consider how we build effective bridges to our new future. Jonathan Portes is Professor of Economics at King's College London. Produced by Craig Templeton Smith In this time of global change, strong communities and initiatives that bring people together are more invaluable than ever before.
