The Sound Of Economics

Think-tanks play a critical role in developing and promoting policy solutions, particularly in times of extreme disruption and change. However, these organisations now operate in information-rich societies where facts, evidence and credible research are often ignored – and where disinformation can gain a footing. In this edition of the Bruegel Backstage podcast series on ‘The Sound of Economics’, Bruegel secretary general Matt Dann welcomes senior thought leaders from research centres around the world, to discuss a range of strategies and best practices for transforming public policy and institutions in an era of digital and political disruptions as well as increased social and economic turbulence. Speakers **Matt Dann**, secretary general at Bruegel **James McGann**, director of the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program at the Lauder Institute, University of Pennsylvania **Milena Lazarević**, programme director and co-founder of the European Policy Centre in Belgrade, Serbia **Edward Kofi Anan Brown
