Welcome to Insurance Covered summer special mini series Meditations on Insurance and Society.  

Normally on this podcast Peter is joined by a guest to discuss an aspect of the wonderful world of insurance. But, this August, we are doing something different. Instead of our normal fortnightly podcast, we are releasing an 8 episode mini series focusing on the role that insurance has played throughout history in shaping society. They will incorporate a bit of history, a bit of philosophy, some psychology, a lot of insurance and… who knows what else.

In part seven we look at:

• The philosophical thinking behind insurance
• the framework for understanding why insurance is such a potent force in society
• The five F words that help us understand the philosophy behind insurance: Fragility, Fear, Future, Faith and Freedom
• insurance as a mirror to our own insecurities 
• 
  

We hope you enjoy the first of our summer special series and will follow along with new episodes releasing every Monday and Thursday throughout August.

Regular episodes will resume in September
