Mark Sanders, Max Planck Institute for Research on Economic Systems International Conference of the IT&FA, Istanbul, May 21 st, 2005slide 15 of 15 Concluding Remarks Managing globalisation poses the biggest 21st century challenge to policy makers. Western politicians should focus on entrepreneurship policies, not only to maximise growth at home but also to moderate wage divergence and build comparative advantage. Smart redistribution is necessary to make globalisation a pareto-improvement.
