Speaker:
Graeme Maxton, Economist and author
Is modern economic thinking failing us? Is it time to ditch modern economic ideas and reconsider notions about the free-market, competition, regulation and trade? Are we facing the end of growth and the end of progress?
Join the FT and Britcham for a thought provoking session with Graeme Maxton, author of 'The End of Progress: How modern economics has failed us,' which raises provocative questions about the long term prospects for economic growth, about the sustainability of our resource use, about the consequences of China's rise and about the West's measures of progress.
