Western nations are struggling to cope with the onslaught of international and national crises from climate to a tide of authoritarianism. Developing countries have an even harder time as they face greater inequality with fewer resources to help their citizens. Government and international bodies have been unable to find lasting solutions to the economic, social, and political tensions. It’s time for bold ideas and strategic action. Lord Mark Malloch Brown, former UN deputy secretary general and UK government minister, thinks that the world needs a new Marshall Plan. Is an old success story a template for renewed action? 

Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Mark Malloch-Brown, president of the Open Society Foundations. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic examines public support for a large-scale global program.
