Hyperdiversity: Challenge or Opportunity?
We live in the most diverse era in history. Diversity gets a bad press, but it allows us to tap into all the talent that has been left on the sidelines. If we do nothing, however, we risk decline. How can Italy, or indeed Britain, innovate policy and institutions to adapt to this hyperdiverse world?
