GLOBAL WEBINAR
REBOOT SERIES Part 2: The Pandemic’s Effect on Capitalism and Globalisation
Hosted jointly by the 100WF London Committees
|
|
Some observers say the Covid-19 pandemic and its policy responses call capitalism into question. Should taxpayers bail out firms that paid little in taxes, yet whose shareholders received large dividends? Who will pick up the public debt tab?
Many believe capitalism and globalisation have failed to distribute wealth efficiently. Income and wealth distribution have become increasingly polarized. Are free-market capitalism and the debt-based financial system sustainable?
These complex issues form the heart of a discussion on the future of markets, monetary policy and how to fix our financial system. Alberto Gallo,
Head of Macro Strategies and Portfolio Manager
at Algebris Investments, will describe his perspective in a fireside chat with Katie Martin, Markets Editor, The Financial Times.
RSVP below; you may include a non-member guest with your RSVP. The webinar link will be sent shortly before the session date. The webinar will be recorded and available to all members after the session.
REBOOT SERIES
This session is the second of a four-part Reboot Series the London Committees of 100 Women in Finance have created to help global members appreciate the opportunities present within the global health crisis and in the period of recovery. The Reboot Series covers topics ranging from rising to the challenges of skiing across Antarctica to the re-engineering of food distribution in London, as described in
The Felix Project case study
.
100WF members are reminded that food support is a critical social need even in areas of great wealth, and the pandemic has only worsened inequities. Throughout the Reboot Series, 100WF members can learn more about this critical issue and how they can make a difference, including as volunteers and as board members, to non-profit organizations working toward sustainable solutions.
100WF’s London Committees invite all 100WF members to join these events. This event has been led by the 100WF London Impact Committee and the 100WF London MidCareer Bridge Committee.
Some employers prevent access to external conference platforms from corporate VPN accounts. You may find it easiest to use a personal device to access this event.

CASE STUDY: The Felix Project
|
|
The Felix Project was set up in 2016 by Justin Byam Shaw and has rapidly become the largest food redistribution charity in London. We are entrepreneurial and ambitious; our simple solution of countering food poverty by addressing food waste resonates with donors, partners, suppliers and volunteers. We rescue food that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste. This is in-date, safe and nutritious, and includes a high proportion of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as baked goods, salads, meat and fish.
Our model is fundamentally different to that of the traditional food bank. We collect or receive deliveries from supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants and delicatessens. We check, sort and deliver this food to frontline charities, primary schools and holiday programmes in London, who feed London’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable adults and children.
The coronavirus has unleashed a health and economic crisis without precedent. Charities and schools are closing making it hard for those most vulnerable in London to eat. As a food redistribution charity, The Felix Project is providing an emergency response to bring food to those who need it most including daily requests from newly-formed community groups all over London. Many are determined to get food to NHS teams and other adults and children in need.
As part of our emergency response plan, we are continuing to provide our absolutely vital service to organisations that are still open during this crisis. Over 325 of our schools, food banks, social kitchens and other community organisations serving the most vulnerable are currently still open. Many are experiencing an even greater demand for food.
Before this crisis, we were delivering 10 tonnes of food a day to schools and charities. We hit a major milestone last week when we redistributed over 42 tonnes of food which is the equivalent of over 100,000 meals in one day.
We have also joined forces with other food redistribution charities as part of a newly-formed
London Food Alliance
, working with each Borough to open up new hubs for the next few months so that local communities can access large volumes of regular food supplies from us.
