Straight Talk Live Ep 27: Digital Technology as a Driver for Inclusive Capitalism


Listen Later

For the last several years, there has been a growing perception that capitalist systems have completely failed to create prosperity for the common man. Ever-growing income inequality and increased uncertainty have eroded the public trust in business, and this creates a systemic risk to our economic system.

So, is it possible for companies to be highly profitable and work toward creating prosperity not just for the few, but for all?

A handful of global organizations are leading the charge by marrying digital technology with initiatives focused on equality, inclusiveness, and sustainability, both from within and as part of community outreach. Their goal is to play an active role in generating a broad and sustainable prosperity by creating additional value that doesn’t sacrifice financial performance.

Our special guest this week is Robert Jamieson, the Group Chief Digital Officer of Legal & General, one of the world’s largest insurance companies currently investing in prosperity initiatives and building digital solutions to support them. 

Some of the questions we’ll dig into with Robert:

  • What, exactly, is inclusive capitalism, and why should we care?
  • How is it possible for companies to invest large amounts of their profits in community initiatives without sacrificing their financial gains?
  • How is digital technology driving the processes involved in creating inclusive capitalism?
  • How are companies implementing these ideas?
  • Is it making any real difference?
  • Join us as we answer these questions and more in our discussion of the intersection between digital technology and prosperity vs. profits.
