Professor Khwaja will share ideas on a new vision for global development that moves from a traditional poverty based lens to one that seeks to maximize each individual’s innate potential. Together with colleagues at the Harvard Center for International Development, this reimagining seeks to build a thriving world for all and not simply a surviving world for some. By reframing development as a co-investment in people’s potential, the talk will explore how to unlock trillions in global GDP growth and foster more inclusive, sustainable societies.
