Consumption has massively benefited from globalization.

We need to put our good research, our good work, our principles into actionable items whenever we can.

If climate change issues are not adequately addressed—if we keep running those nice energy subsidies, if the price on carbon is not adequately set, if policymakers don’t have it on their radar screens—then financial stability in the medium and long-term is clearly at stake.

Think about it. Women control 70 percent of global consumer spending . . . when women do better, economies do better.

There are goods that are outside trade and in the public domain and that should be reserved and protected.

The financial industry is a service industry. It should serve others before it serves itself.

We draw many benefits from globalization that people take for granted. Poverty has been reduced massively around the world. If you look at the Chinese numbers, it is quite mind-boggling: 700 million people taken out of poverty in a matter of 40 years, the poverty rate having moved from over 30 per cent from hardly six per cent now. That would not have happened if there had not been globalization.
