text: Journalist and author Michael Smith writes with passion and insight about trust and integrity, compassion and care, in the interests of all stakeholders in the economy. He highlights how business leaders, and each person, can play a part in globalizing such economic, social and human values, person to person, business to business. He addresses these issues in his books, articles and lectures by sharing case stories of best practice from around the world.
  The challenge has been heightened by the global Coronavirus pandemic which has devastated people and communities, businesses and economies. Restoring jobs and the global economy is a huge task. At the same time, Black Lives Matter continues to campaign globally against racial discrimination and for economic justice, including jobs, for ethnic minorities.
  As well as fiscal policies, a spirit of empathy, community and solidarity is needed. How can this be encouraged, from SMEs to global corporations, reflecting not only good business practice but also the best in human nature?
