Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Good evening everyone and thank you so much for joining us for tonight's discussion
on the green shoots of the new economy and welcome to if you're joining us online.
My name is Abby Innes, I'm an Associate Professor of Political Economy here at the European Institute
and I think you will have read the biographies in a bit of detail
so I'm not going to go into those in depth,
but I find it hard to imagine a better qualified panel for discussing tonight's question.
And it being the opening week of the World Cup, we have a substitution.
The wonderful Dr. Julie Culkin sends her really sincere apologies and is delayed in her travel, so she couldn't join us.
But somewhat miraculously, Charmian Love has been able to join us instead.
Absolutely.
Dr. Julie Colkins isn't here.
Can I take on the doctor so that I can finally be Dr. Love?
I've always wanted to be.
So we have Dr. Love at the end, which I think is entirely appropriate.
And she was going to be a relaxed member of the audience.
So I think it's very nice that she's been willing to come on stage.
Charmian is a regenerative business expert of many years, co-founder of B-Lab,
entrepreneur in residence at the Said Business School in Oxford,
