A series of economic crises, combined with the on-going Covid pandemic and widening social and political divisions, have generated significant dissatisfaction with the performance of many national governments. This has enabled populists to exploit social and economic divisions to exert influence. By offering identifiable foes and simplistic solutions, populists tend to exacerbate social turmoil and through their policies damage the world?s economies.

In this e-conference three renowned experts will present their findings on: (1) the sources of populist resurgence, (2) the potential economic consequences of populist policies; and (3) possible measures to adapt current policy.
