Open to Debate

Will the Future Be Abundant?


Listen Later

Today, humanity is thriving, but there are fears the good times will not last. Will tomorrow be better than today? Those arguing “yes” say people have better access to resources and technological advances are making us more prosperous. Those arguing “no” say there are widening socio-economic disparities, our globalized world is bound to collapse, and we’re not doing enough to fight climate change. Now we debate: Will the Future Be Abundant? 


Arguing Yes: Peter Diamandis, Founder and Executive Chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation   

Arguing No: Peter Zeihan, Geopolitical Strategist 

 

Xenia Wickett, Geopolitical strategist and moderator at Wickett Advisory and Trustee of Transparency International UK, is the guest moderator.
