There are a number of contemporary issues or emerging ideas in the world of economic development that demand a considered talk through. By this we mean topics which need more consideration and if not topical, should be!
The sessions invite speakers who all have a particular – maybe differing view/perspective – on the topic. EDAS will hold no particular view on the topic, bar wishing to create a space in which others can air their views and the audience can engage.
“Let’s Talk about…” #2 Wealth
Wealth is the defining feature of all economies. The patterns of wealth as it flows through the economy in terms of who has it and where it lands, or where it ends up shapes our lives, our places and our planet. So how does economic development seek to influence the patterns of wealth and what do we need to consider so that wealth is more readily enjoyed by all?
