As part of MPI's ongoing work around shared prosperity, Roger Martin outlines his case against efficiency, specifically the way it's come to dominate how we think about the economy and politics and how that impacts are day to day lives. Once considered an unalloyed good, he argues we've gone to far, pushing our systems of finance and government to a point where they no longer work towards the betterment of the average middle-class family.

This episode is based on the article "Rethinking Efficiency" by Roger Martin for the Harvard Business Review - https://hbr.org/2019/01/rethinking-efficiency
