Wider thinking
Welcome to the inaugural edition of Future Focus, a twice-yearly publication for financial intermediaries looking for original analysis, global perspectives and actionable insights.
In this edition we explore the distinctive benefits of founder-led companies, hear from an intrepid investor as he explores companies in Seoul and Mumbai and discuss how old and new economic ‘laws’ can lead us on a path of discovery. We highlight the technological breakthroughs shaping our futures and speak with ‘evolutionary economist’ Prof Eric Beinhocker about how companies must adapt to evolving needs.
