In war, capital is usually destroyed. Bombs and bullets kill people, but they also destroy buildings, disrupt markets and crush growth. COVID-19 is then a most unusual war. All the capital is still there – but untouched since all the people who work with it have been sent home. The restaurants, the planes, the airports, the cruise ships, the commercial office space, it’s all still there. Demand may be stuck at home, but supply chain issues notwithstanding are right where we left them in March.
Join political economist and author of "Angrynomics," Mark Blyth, as he presents a view of the crisis as a “good” problem to solve. He asks how do we redeploy what we have after COVID-19 and how do we shift our capital around to facilitate its best possible returns, both privately to owners, and socially to society as a whole?
Yes, the next 18-24 months will be difficult. But within that pain lies a once in a lifetime challenge, with opportunity on the other side.
