Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

Reimagining Capitalism for a Broken World

Listen Later

More than half of the world’s population believe capitalism is doing more harm than good. But is it beyond repair, or can it be fixed from within? Harvard Business School professor Rebecca Henderson joins Azeem Azhar to share her vision of purpose-driven capitalism, where companies can make good profits by doing the right thing.

They also explore:

  • Why strong government and civil society are fundamental for healthy capitalism.
  • Why highly-rated ESG companies have proved to be more profitable and resilient.
  • The flaw in relying on a few philanthropists to fund public services.
