In a world where the future becomes increasingly difficult to project and understand The World in 2018—the Economist’s annual publication focuses on the year ahead providing a comprehensive, structured and expert overview, dedicated to predictions of global trends, covering everything from business to science, politics and culture in the year to come.
Daniel Franklin - Editor of The Economist’s annual publication, “The World in…” and Executive Editor of The Economist will talk us through the analysis of the year ahead compiled from inputs from specialist editors with The Economist, columnists from other publications and leaders from business, politics, science and the arts.
The World in 2018 is the 32nd edition, building on three decades of publishing success. It outlines the international calendar of scheduled events in 2018 as well as exposing a host of powerful ideas about the future, not least driven by technology. It is specific, numerate, opinionated and full of predictions.
