After the Pandemic, Prepare for the Roaring Twenties?

This was the topic of Diplosphere’s panel discussion in Wellington on 17th of February.

 

The speakers who were leading experts in a diverse range of areas — from diplomacy & politics, economy & business to climate & environmental sciences and love — used the lens of the 1920s to explore lessons to be had, and even gazed into a crystal ball on potential outcomes.
