What would it mean for women worldwide to be truly economically empowered?
In response to systematic exclusion from economic participation, women have shaped an entirely different set of economic practices: the Double X economy. While restricted, this system represents a careful, cooperative, and focused economic order that could greatly improve the order under which the world exists now.
Join author Linda Scott and professor Marianne Bertrand in discussing Scott's new book, "The Double X Economy: The Epic Potential of Women's Empowerment."
Linda Scott is Emeritus DP World Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Oxford. Marianne Bertrand is Chris P. Dialynas Distinguished Service Professor of Economics and Willard Graham Faculty Scholar at Chicago Booth.
