What will the long-term economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic be? For the fourth in a new series of interactive events from Intelligence Squared - Coronavirus: Your Questions Answered - we brought together a panel of leading experts in a free live online event to examine how Covid-19 will affect the economy around the world. How deep and long-lasting is the upcoming recession likely to be? Will the pandemic exacerbate inequality? Will we ever go back to business as usual or is the crisis an opportunity to introduce new systems and ways of thinking about the distribution of wealth? Addressing these questions were global trade expert Shanker Singham, political economist Ann Pettifor and economics professor and co-host of the podcast Capitalisn't Luigi Zingales. Chairing the proceedings and taking questions from our live audience was BBC presenter Ritula Shah.
