If necessity is the mother of invention, the pandemic and its calamitous winds have served as prods to innovation. Universally, 2020 was the year when all economic agents in some way had to reinvent or reimagine their purpose and methods.

As we identify enduring innovations, perhaps we can also figure out how to deploy them for wider societal benefit.
