The London Consensus - Economic Principles for the 21st Century
The London Consensus in the press
The London Consensus - including insights on economics and climate by the IGC's Robin Burgess and Tim Dobermann - has been called a "landmark publication" that takes on the most urgent questions facing humanity. See how the international media has reacted to this rethink of the world's political, social and economic challenges, and has assessed the impact it could have.
While it’s easy to list the problems facing the world, it’s much harder to identify the new ideas that will solve them. The London Consensus: Economic Principles for the 21st Century brings together contributions from the world's leading economists. This includes a chapter by IGC's Director Robin Burgess and Director of Research Tim Dobermann, titled “Climate and Environment: What we know and what we need to know”, which argues that innovations in our institutions, as well as our technology, can help overcome political gridlock on climate action.
This round-up of the latest media coverage sees commentators from The New Yorker, The Financial Times and others compare the book's ideas to those of the Washington Consensus, and ask what answers it provides in a time of Trumponomics, inequality and policy uncertainty.
