The Power of Narratives
Bronwyn Williams & Ben Hunt [The Small Print]
In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn speaks to the creator of Epsilon Theory, Ben Hunt, about the power of stories to shape financial systems and the world at large. It’s a wide-ranging conversation that also touches on the “decentralisation gospel”, the nudging state, “fiat news”, crypto “true believers”, inalienable rights, and more.
Bronwyn Williams is a futurist, economist, trend analyst and host of The Small Print. Her day job as a partner at Flux Trends involves helping business leaders to use foresight to design the future they want to live and work in. You may have seen her talking about Transhumanism or Tikok on Carte Blanche, or heard her talking about trends on 702 or CNBC Africa where she is a regular expert commentator. When she's not talking to brands and businesses about the future, you will probably find her curled up somewhere with a (preferably paperback) book. She tweets at @bronwynwilliams.
