What We Owe Each Other - by Minouche Shafik

What We Owe Each Other is a groundbreaking book that challenges traditional social contracts and offers practical solutions for building a better society.

Written by Minouche Shafik, one of the leading policy experts of our time, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of how changing gender roles, technology, new models of work, aging, and climate change have broken our social contract. Shafik takes readers through various stages of life, from raising children to growing old, and shows how a reordering of our societies is possible.

She provides evidence and examples from around the world to demonstrate how every country can provide citizens with the basics to have a decent life and contribute to society.

However, she argues that more is needed - a more generous and inclusive society that shares risks collectively and expects more of individuals in return. What We Owe Each Other identifies the key elements of a better social contract, including investing more in each other and sharing more risks collectively.

This book provides practical solutions to current challenges and demonstrates how we can build a better society together.

With its powerful and hopeful message, What We Owe Each Other is a must-read for anyone interested in creating a more equitable and sustainable future.
