In Episode 5 "The Most Unfree", we investigated the damage that neoliberalism has inflicted upon our democracy and the enormous power corporations have amassed in our society...but we didn't have much time to touch on solutions.
So, this week we're taking a break from the usual style of episode to bring you a very special bonus interview with the brilliant JEREMY LENT, in which we discuss his 5-point proposal for curbing the power of corporations in our society.
Described by journalist George Monbiot as “one of the greatest thinkers of our age”, Jeremy, is an author and integrator whose work investigates the underlying causes of our civilisation’s existential crisis, and explores pathways toward a life-affirming future.
His award-winning book, The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity’s Search for Meaning, explores the way humans have made meaning from the cosmos from hunter-gatherer times to the present day. His new book, The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe, offers a coherent and intellectually solid foundation for a worldview based on connectedness that could lead humanity to a sustainable, flourishing future.
