Is Our Idea of Economic Success Completely Broken? (Your Radical Questions with Kate Raworth)

Kate Raworth believes that mainstream economists have got it wrong for decades. For her, reducing everything to a simple measure of gross domestic product and increasing that number every year is a huge mistake that is harming both people and planet.

It proposes a new economic model that priortises social and environmental needs instead of how much we produce and consume. Many of you asked us to invite her on th...

The End of Endless Growth: Should We Put the Brakes on Economic Expansion? (Kate Raworth)

Taking Responsibility: Are We Thinking About Success and Ambition All Wrong? (Emma Grede)

This week, the entrepreneur Emma Grede challenges ‘old thoughts’ about work-life balance, money, motherhood and success. She argues that focus, trade-offs and relentless effort matter more than comfort. From growing up in East London to building global businesses, she makes the case that opportunity still exists, if you’re willing to chase it. But are her ideas liberating - or just unforgiving?

Business Reimagined: Should Firms Have a Purpose Beyond Profit? (Ben & Jerry’s Ben Cohen)

Ben Cohen argues that most corporations have trained people to believe profit and purpose are from separate worlds – while he says that a company’s values should be as important to its mission as making money. Cohen makes the case that consumers are not just shoppers – they ...
