Unfortunately, rich countries alone can't solve the climate challenge anymore, as emerging markets contribute 75% to global emissions. However, as Homi Kharas and I show there is hope as some (rich) countries already cut down their emissions a lot. brookings.edu/blog/future-de…

Brexit isn’t the solution, or the problem. It’s the symptom of an economy that’s not working for the many. We need to deploy the next wave of tech not to make the algorithm-owning class richer, blitzing jobs, but to empower people, unlocking their huge creativity and potential.

David Ricardo was in 1821 talking about effect of mechanization on jobs and wages. But as long as profits were reinvested in economy, new jobs appeared. That stopped with maximisation of shareholder value. Blame financialization & bad governance not robots! I’ll say this @wef !
