Western countries are still struggling to define their attitudetowards the Beijing regime. In this talk on February 22, 2022, Thomas Pikettywill argue that the rightanswer lies in ending Western arrogance and promoting a newemancipatory and egalitarian horizon on a global scale, a new formof democratic and participatory, ecological and post-colonial socialism. If they stick to their usual lecturing posture and a dated hyper-capitalist model, Western countries may find it extremelydifficult to meet the Chinese challenge.

Thomas Piketty is a French economist who is Professor of Economics at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, Associate Chair at the Paris School of Economics and Centennial Professor of Economics in the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics. Piketty is the author of Capital in the 21st Century (2013) and Capital and Ideology(2020).
