The Economics ShowWhat future for aid and development? With Minouche ShafikUS President Donald Trump has frozen all foreign aid payments, while Elon Musk is putting America’s biggest development agency, USAID, “through the woodchipper”. Meanwhile, the UK government has just announced it will slash its aid budget from 0.5% to 0.3% of GDP.

And should we fear that rising authoritarian powers, most notably China, are stepping into the breach with their own funds and parallel institutions? In an interview recorded just before the UK’s announcement, Alan Beattie speaks to economist Minouche Shafik, who is a...

Neue gesamtgesellschaftliche Übereinkünfte sind daher vonnöten, um den Herausforderungen der Zukunft angemessen zu begegnen. Die bedeutenden Transformationsprozesse haben in den meisten Industriestaaten zur Folge, dass Individuen Risiken wie Arbeitslosigkeit, Krankheit oder Altersabsicherung zunehmend selbst tragen müssen...
