Meditations on Insurance And Society 8: The Unexpected Triumph Of Morality
Season 4, Ep. 24
•
Welcome to Insurance Covered summer special mini series Meditations on Insurance and Society.
Normally on this podcast Peter is joined by a guest to discuss an aspect of the wonderful world of insurance. But, this August, we are doing something different. Instead of our normal fortnightly podcast, we are releasing an 8 episode mini series focusing on the role that insurance has played throughout history in shaping society. They will incorporate a bit of history, a bit of philosophy, some psychology, a lot of insurance and… who knows what else.
In part eight we look at:
- the future of insurance
- the rise of morality within insurance
- insurance and ESG
- insurance as a moral system?
- The social purpose of insurance
- Insurance and climate change
We hope you enjoy the first of our summer special series and will follow along with new episodes releasing every Monday and Thursday throughout August.
Regular episodes will resume in September
