42:42Now PlayingWhat actually makes a society prosperous?
In this episode, we continue our conversation about wealth and ask a bigger question: what kind of society allows people to create, contribute and flourish?
We explore the relationship between wealth creation and redistribution, incentives and human nature, personal responsibility and opportunity, and the psychological and spiritual dimensions of human flourishing.
We also discuss what happens when material solutions aren't enough — and whether successful social systems need to account for things like belonging, purpose, agency and the ways people actually behave.
From capitalism and creativity to poverty, culture, religion and the question of whether some social systems are genuinely better than others, this conversation takes us into some surprisingly big questions about what it means to build a good society.
This isn't an attempt to provide all the answers. It's a conversation about the questions we think are worth asking.
