About the series
Rudyard Griffiths is chair of the Munk Debates. The Munk Dialogues is a charitable initiative of the Peter and Melanie Munk Foundation.
The COVID-19 pandemic is entering a new phase this autumn.
Are governments up to the challenge of handling a second wave of infections? How is the all-important economic recovery likely to play out? What are the new geopolitical risks we face as the pandemic goes global? And, when it comes to big risks that could affect all these forces and factors, none stands out larger than the most consequential U.S. election in a generation.
Starting on Sept. 30, the Munk Dialogues begins its second season with free, weekly video conversation about the big issues and events transforming our lives from the presidential race to the coronavirus to the economy to geopolitics. The series will focus on the confluence of factors that can tip the balance on how the world makes an economic recovery.
The series features some of the world’s sharpest minds and brightest thinkers sharing their unique perspectives and experiences.
Next in the dialogues
