For a century, the most divisive question in political thought has been about the size of the state. Should it expand and take an active role in all sorts of areas of life? Or is that just meddlesome and wasteful? This dilemma might have made sense in earlier decades. Now, with the world transformed by Covid-19 and a revolution unfolding in the technologies of organisation, a great upheaval is also coming in the essential business of government.
Join enterprise expert Jaideep Prabhu on our tour of the new levers of state power. Discover amazing initiatives in unexpected places, from India's mission to give a digital identity to billion citizens, to a Dutch programme that lets nurses operate almost entirely without management. Or perhaps China's ominous Social Credit System is a more accurate vision of what the future has in store for us.
