It has been a turbulent year, and 2021 promises just as much economic uncertainty.

Economics Festival Co-Director Diane Coyle will be in conversation with Baroness Shriti Vadera, discussing how to navigate the economic and political currents. Chair designate of Prudential plc and about to complete her term as Chair of Santander UK, Baroness Vadera was a minister in Gordon Brown’s government during the financial crisis.

The conversation will range over how we went from the ‘End of History’ in 1989 to two major economic downturns in little over a decade and predictions of the demise of capitalism.
