What Could Go Right? - Rethinking Today’s Capitalism (Bonus)

At its worst, today’s capitalism is risky, reckless, and rapacious, unmindful of its impact on society and addicted to the motto that more is always more. Surrounded by these conditions, we might forget that it doesn’t have to be this way—today’s capitalism is just one of many capitalisms, and we can choose to swim in new waters instead. Editor-at-large for the Financial Times (US) Gillian Tett and The Progress Network Founder Zachary Karabell discuss.

This conversation was recorded on June 10, 2021.

What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.
