More and more the realisation that markets are not self-contained systems but need other social spheres to function well, has sunk in. Such spheres can be found in the government, but also in civil society and local, national or global communities. The risk is that markets undermine or invade either the state or the community-spheres. Why is a balance needed and how can this be achieved? What does it require from the various spheres, as ‘pillars’ of a good market society? With Paul Collier and Raghuram Rajan.
The episode starts of with a spoken column by Sam de Muijnck and is moderated by Natasja van den Berg and David van Overbeek.
