Governing Globalization
Globalization has come in for increasing criticism over the last year, being blamed for massive job losses, increasing inequality and the rise of populism across the West.
But are the judgements fair? According to a recent study, four out of five jobs lost due to globalization have been sacrificed to technological change rather than trade.
What else have we learned about globalization, and how can we improve its governance to ensure benefits are widely spread?
Included on the panel for this session are Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Bradford L. Smith and economist and author Dambisa Moyo.

Christine Lagarde's 2013 warning about inequality
In the session Squeezed and Angry: How to Fix the Middle-Class Crisis, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde spoke about the Davos speech she gave in 2013 warning about rising inequality.
Here is that speech in full - watch from 13:55 for her main warning:
"You can be absolutely sure that nations will revert to their natural tendency of hiding behind their borders, of moving towards protectionism, of listening to vested interests, and they’ll forget about transcending those national priorities."
— Christine Lagarde, speaking in 2013
"Why did people not listen, I don’t know, but certainly I got a strong backlash, from economists in particular saying that it was not really any of their business to worry about these things," she said in this morning's session.

Politics of Fear or Rebellion of the Forgotten?
Why has there been such a rise in hostility towards so-called smug elites and establishment power? From the UK's vote to leave the European Union to the election of Donald Trump in the US, populist leaders claim they are responding to the growing number of voters who feel disenchanted, and disenfranchised: frustrated that their views on globalization, immigration and terrorism don’t seem to count.
Do they have a point, or are they being manipulated? Have the political elite found the right response?
In this session the BBC's Zeinab Badawi is speaking to Belgian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, author Elif Shafak and Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of Moelis & Company, Eric I. Cantor.

An Insight, An Idea with Jamie Oliver
Join us as Arianna Huffington interviews chef Jamie Oliver on driving a healthy and sustainable food revolution.
I was going into schools in Britain, Australia and America where they didn’t know the association between a potato and a French fry – they didn’t know about tomato and ketchup – they thought that milk was pink or black because they saw no white milk.
In Britain ten years ago we had standards that were robust for dog food and nothing for kids food - that’s how screwed up we were.
