Manage episode 463096590 series 3375175
This week on The Lost Dollar Business Club, we’re joined by our special guest and friend of the show, Guy Standing, to dive into an unforgettable conversation spanning centuries of thought and modern challenges.
We explore his latest book, The Politics of Time: Gaining Control in the Age of Uncertainty, and tackle the big questions about society, economy, and the future of our planet. From Aristotle’s vision of a good citizen to the economic legacy of Donald Trump, we examine what it means to work, live, and thrive in today’s complex world.
Key Highlights:
- Rethinking GDP: Why it doesn’t make sense anymore and how it could be redefined to reflect true progress.
- Basic Income: Breaking down the transformative power of Universal Basic Income and how it can reshape our economies.
- From Ancient Greece to Modern Politics: What Aristotle can teach us about citizenship, and how we’ve strayed from these ideals in today’s world.
- Bureaucrats and Oligarchs: Understanding the power dynamics of the past and present, and what needs to change for a better future.
- The Politics of Time: How time has been controlled and commodified, and why reclaiming it is essential for a more equitable and humane society.
- What Is Work?: Challenging outdated notions of productivity and exploring how we should define meaningful contributions in the 21st century.
This is a thought-provoking journey across history, politics, and economics that asks: What must we change today to create a better tomorrow?
