They were followed by the philosopher André Comte-Sponville and by Patrick Chappatte, editorial cartoonist for The New York Times and Le Temps. Philanthropy advisor Karin Jestin explained how we can give meaning to money. “Business romantic” Tim Leberecht then talked about how to build a human company in the age of machines.
