Michael O'Sullivan, economist and author of 'Ireland and the Global Question' & 'The Levelling: What's Next After Globalisation' joins Vincent to discuss the radical measures different governments across the world have implemented in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis and the possible change they might bring in the years to come when it comes to attitudes towards government intervention, corporate governance, and the very nature of social contracts.
Oliver Holmes, Jerusalem Correspondent for the Guardian joins Vincent to discuss how Covid-19 has been dealt with in Israel, and look at the social, cultural, and political affects the crisis has had on the country.
Vincent then spoke to Leo Austin, Senior Advisor at The China Center for Economics & Business, The Conference Board to discuss what things are like in China now since the restrictions on the movement of people have been relaxed.
