What if globalisation isn't as unstoppable as once thought? As manufacturing technology advances will the push for cheap labour abroad cease? How will that change the location of factories? And how might that affect you? We consider the idea of deglobalisation with Finbarr Livesey, author of From Global To Local, and Stephanie Flanders, former 麻豆社 Economics Editor, now Chief Market Strategist for UK and Europe at J P Morgan.
Taryn Simon's art work is on show as part of Photo London at the Embankment Gallery East in Somerset House.
