Listen to Let's Talk Specials. This podcast sees leading voices share their views on the high-profile issues that matter today – including to you.

In this episode, Swedish historian, innovation thinker and self-proclaimed 'new optimist' Johan Norberg talks about the importance of innovation as an engine for economic growth.

Never one to shy away from a strong statement, Norberg believes that regulation is tending to make us increasingly risk-averse (i.e. less innovation-driven). He sees degrowth as particularly dangerous because it will ultimately reduce our capacity for creativity. To hear the thinking behind his ideas, tune in to the podcast.
