How do we prepare for a world of constant shocks—climate disasters, financial crises, pandemics, conflict, and inequality?
Kevin Gallagher, Director of @globaldevelopmentpolicycenter, calls for a new international financial architecture to meet the demands of the 21st century. Drawing on insights from his book "The Case for a New Bretton Woods", Gallagher outlines five foundational principles for a system that is more resilient, inclusive, and fit for the polycrisis era.
From rising interest rates to mounting climate emergencies, our current institutions are falling short. But change is possible—and necessary.
