Скачать или смотреть A Future of Abundance w/ Futurist Sohail Inayatullah

Futurist Sohail Inayatullah describes three scenarios countries around the world are facing as they continue to get disrupted. He suggests that a desire to return to the old way is one scenario that will result in Fascism. A second scenario is continued growth while ignoring threats like climate change. A third scenario is nearly unimaginable evolution that leads to a world of abundance.

In the full episode (S10 | E10), futurist Sohail Inayatullah paints a picture of life in 2073. He describes a peer-to-peer economy moving at lightning speeds that will lead to incredible abundance. He talks about nation states giving way to bio-regions and cultural regions. He shares examples of how leaders in Abu Dhabi and New Zealand are thinking about and designing their futures. Sohail finishes the conversation with his thoughts on what we are doing today that the humans of 2073 will look back at in disbelief.
