With the world in lockdown and the showdown with China accelerating, the West must now adapt to a world it no longer dominates.
Our current political, justice and economic systems are unable to resolve the current global crises, nor bridge the growing divides of wealth, gender and race.
COVID is giving us a chance to reset, but already we’re seeing a toxic form of vaccine nationalism take hold, in which unequal access to vaccines is leaving some countries out in the cold. So how do we design a more equal world?
We’re at a turning point now - how do we proceed?
Joining me on the panel:
Stan Grant, Journalist and author
Bruce Pascoe, Author, Dark Emu
Sam Mostyn, President, Chief Executive Women
Gigi Foster, Economist, UNSW
Adam Creighton, Economics editor, The Australian
Also joining the conversation:
Thomas Piketty, Internationally renowned economist.
Please submit a question via our website by 9am Thursday for the chance to ask the panel.

Watch Q+A Thursday at 8.30pm on ABC TV, streamed live 8.30pm AEST on ABC iview or on our website.
