Stéphane Garelli: «Let's explain the benefits of globalization».»

Le Regard Libre N° 21 - Nicolas Jutzet and Jonas Follonier

Professor at the University of Lausanne and IMD, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Le Temps newspaper, former Managing Director of the World Economic Forum and the Davos Symposium, Stéphane Garelli's list of high-level responsibilities is long. But above all, the economist is known for his talent as a teacher. We met with him in Sion on September 5 to discuss the major themes running through his work, including perhaps the most important: globalization.

Le Regard Libre: In a recent interview, Jean Tirole, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, said the following: «I've become aware of my responsibility to communicate what my discipline has to say about our choices for society.» Does the economist in you have an educational duty, a mission? That of simplifying the message so that people understand the issues as well as possible.
