RSA Events

How business lost our trust


Listen Later

From big tech scandals to soaring executive pay gaps, public trust in major corporations is at an all-time low. Despite life-changing innovations like vaccines and digital tools, we increasingly “love the product but hate the producer”.

Renowned economist John Kay visits the RSA to deliver a bold critique of modern business. He’ll unpack how the relentless pursuit of shareholder value has gutted some of the 20th century’s most iconic companies and left the 21st-century corporation facing a reckoning.

What must change to restore trust in and purpose to the businesses we rely on?

Chair:

Andy Haldane, RSA CEO

Speaker:

John Kay, economist and author
