Existing social institutions are not adequate to meet the challenges of the exponential age. Social entrepreneur and author, Hilary Cottam, proposes a radical overhaul of the welfare system. In discussion with Azeem Azhar, she also argues that we must reject the old economic model for humanity, Homo econonomicus (guided by ration to maximize economic gains), and embrace Sapiens integra, a new theoretical human with stronger connections to nature and other humans.

In this conversation, they discuss:

  • The New Industrialists and their role in the social revolution.
  • How a switch from the mindset of efficiency to the mindset of care can transform our institutions.
  • The role of new technologies in this transformation.
