Caring for others, paying taxes, and benefiting from public services define the social contract that supports and binds us together as a society. Today, however, our social contract has been broken by changing gender roles, technology, new models of work, aging, and the perils of climate change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMinouche Shafik takes us through stages of life we all experience--raising children, getting educated, falling ill, working, growing old--and shows how a reordering of our societies is possible. Drawing on evidence and examples from around the world, she shows how every country can provide citizens with the basics to have a decent life and be able to contribute to society. But we owe each other more than this. A more generous and inclusive society would also share more risks collectively and ask everyone to contribute for as long as they can so that everyone can fulfill their potential. \u003ci\u003eWhat We Owe Each Other\u003c\/i\u003e identifies the key elements of a better social contract that recognizes our interdependencies, supports and invests more in each other, and expects more of individuals in return. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePowerful, hopeful, and thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eWhat We Owe Each Other\u003c\/i\u003e provides practical solutions to current challenges and demonstrates how we can build a better society--together.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMinouche Shafik\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science.
