He discusses everything from the Next Generation EU to structural changes in supply chains, government propaganda to a brilliant analysis of the economic and cultural consequences of the crisis. Thought-provoking and powerful, our personal section features Mr Wolf sharing his motivation for getting into economics, crucial lessons he learnt during his career and the ‘accidents’ that shaped his life!

Finally, we confront our world-class guest with a novel thought experiment that takes us back to The United States in the 1930s, reflecting on the economic decisions that led to the Second World War.
