Risk, uncertainty, speculation, and economic growth:
A complex challenge for a sustainable recovery

The 2009 edition of our symposium is devoted to the concept of risk – in all its nuances and manifestations – and the part it plays in the processes of economic growth. Debates will take shape against the background of the current crisis, which is affecting all major economies, and whose triggers may be identified also in cases of (failed) risk management over the past ten years.

This year’s theme not only sits quite comfortably with the subjects of past editions (engines of growth, innovation, employment, the job market, economic policies and growth, the challenge of energy resources), but is equally relevant to the ailing world economies. Indeed it prompts us to observe the deep changes and challenges raised by the dire predicament characterising recent history. Similarly, it will give us a chance to examine and weigh up policies, measures, strategies and programmes undertaken at the national and international levels.
