Get the Summary of Minouche Shafik's What We Owe Each Other in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: Minouche Shafik takes us through stages of life we all experience-raising children, getting educated, falling ill, working, growing old-and shows how a reordering of our societies is possible. Drawing on evidence and examples from around the world, she shows how every country can provide citizens with the basics to have a decent life and be able to contribute to society. But we owe each other more than this. A more generous and inclusive society would also share more risks collectively and ask everyone to contribute for as long as they can so that everyone can fulfill their potential. What We Owe Each Other identifies the key elements of a better social contract that recognizes our interdependencies, supports and invests more in each other, and expects more of individuals in return
