How will capitalism evolve—or collapse—in the coming decades? Futurist, academic, and author Andy Hines joins us to discuss his latest book, "Imagining After Capitalism", the result of a decade of research into our shifting social and economic systems. He explores key drivers making capitalism less viable and presents three thought-provoking ‘guiding images’ for the future: Tech-led Abundance, Circular Commons, and Post-Workers Paradise. Rather than predicting a single outcome, Hines challenges us to expand our imagination and explore alternative futures beyond the current system. Don’t miss this fascinating conversation!
