RSA Spotlights – taking you straight to the heart of the event, highlighting our favourite moments and key talking points.

There are repeated calls for equitable growth but little clue as to how this is to be achieved. In order to take this further, we need a wide-ranging debate about our social objectives and how they can be achieved.
