What We Owe Each Other: A New Social Contract is a book by Minouche Shafik, which European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde hailed as a must-read, calling it “a great recipe for how we can improve our life together, which couldn’t come at a more pertinent moment".

In it, British American academic and economist Minouche Shafik proposed ways in which societies can meet the challenges of the coming century and move toward a more inclusive society. 

A Financial Times review called the book “brilliantly lucid and accessible” in answering the age-old question of how to balance individuality with collective responsibility. 

Shafik’s conclusion: “We owe each other more.”
