In the book she draws on evidence from across the globe to identify key principles for a social contract for every society. She explains how the social contract shapes everything from our political institutions and legal systems to the organisation of family and community and discusses how these social contracts are failing us. She identifies the key principles every society must adopt if it is to meet the challenges of the coming century, with profound implications for gender equality, education, healthcare provision, the role of business and the future of work.
