Joel, Sasja and Carolina reflect on the season's 15 episodes, which have explored growth and economic systems from widely different perspectives -- from techno-optimists to advocates of an entirely new economic system. They conclude that the series has succeeded in keeping the tension between different viewpoints alive, but that they want to meet more entrepreneurs in the next season.
The conversation moves through several themes: AI's dual role as both resource drain and potential solution; the financial system's short-termism as a structural barrier to transition; the need for political reform (including around corporate law and quarterly reporting); and a new report associated with Piketty on global justice and concrete steps toward a more equitable world within planetary boundaries.
They also highlight the weakening of democracy as a deeply troubling parallel process, alongside the climate crisis, the AI boom and demographic shifts, and want to explore this further next season. Other topics flagged for season 2 include rewilding, religion and social development, Buckminster Fuller's systems thinking, and AI from multiple angles.
