LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 FT / McKinsey BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR
AWARD One of the world's most influential economists sets out the
basis for a new social contract fit for the 21st century
'Intelligent and lucid' Martin Wolf, Financial Times, Best Summer
Reading 2021 'In the tradition of Beveridge, Shafik points us
toward ... a hopeful framework for social, economic, and political
renewal' Michael J. Sandel 'Wonderfully illuminating of our
interdependence' Amartya Sen 'A powerful and persuasive moral
argument ... rigorous and specific enough to help readers think
practically about the policies needed' Melinda Gates --- The social
contract shapes everything: our political institutions, legal
systems and material conditions, but also the organisation of
family and community, our well-being, relationships and life
prospects. And yet everywhere, the social contract is failing.
Accelerating changes in technology, demography and climate will
reshape our world in ways many of us have yet to grasp. In this
landmark study, Minouche Shafik, Director of the London School of
Economics, draws on evidence from across the globe to identify the
key principles every society must adopt if it is to meet the
challenges of the coming century, with profound implications for
gender equality, education, healthcare provision, the role of
business and the future of work. How should society pool risks,
share resources and balance individual with collective
responsibility? Brilliantly lucid and accessible, What We Owe Each
Other offers new answers to these age-old questions and equips
every reader to understand and play their part in the urgent and
necessary transformation ahead. --- 'A necessary contribution at a
turning-point in history ... a must-read' Ursula von der Leyen
'Beautifully argued ... a must-read for all those seeking to
understand why the bonds that bind society together are so frayed
and what we can do about it' Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala 'Weaves economics,
philosophy, wisdom and common sense into a social contract of
simplicity, solidity and harmony. A must-read recipe for the
improvement of our life together' Christine Lagarde 'A
thought-provoking addition to our current, urgent debates' Daron
Acemoglu A PROSPECT MAGAZINE BEST BOOK OF 2021
