Power, markets, humanity - economic policy in the service of society
What you can expect:
Economic policy is more than just numbers and regulation—it shapes how people, businesses, and countries live together. Margrethe Vestager talks about how smart rules and consistent competition policy not only make markets fairer, but also strengthen citizens' trust. Using examples from her work, she shows how economic decisions can carry social responsibility—and why humanity is not incompatible with efficiency.
