Jerker Moodysson: [00:24] Living in Sweden, as I do, it's a little bit different still compared to many other European countries. We are, I would say, a few years behind in this development of xenophobia and populism and so on, but we are getting there and that's a big problem.

[00:52] One important task for a business school or any school is to represent a counter force to populism, and to make sure that we provide knowledge to society and that we are agile in doing so.
