Opening the Global Economy

August 20, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Political science

As the nations of the world develop strategies for reopening their economies, humanity is presented with a unique opportunity to reevaluate the unequal impacts that the economy has had on people and the long-term impacts it has on the environment. Should we change any of our priorities or the ways we do business? If so, how? If not, why not?
