How does a wildly unpredictable election change the cyclical trajectory of America? Neil Howe, the renowned author of "The Fourth Turning Is Here: What the Seasons of History Tell Us about How and When This Crisis Will End," brings his critical insights to the Crossroads Summit this November. Howe's sophisticated analysis of historical cycles and future trends offers a compelling vision of how to navigate the unpredictable events unfolding in the world. Will it resolve? Join the conversation November 21-22 in Miami. #CrossroadsSummit2024 #Crossroads2024 #EmbraceInnovation #NetworkAtCrossroads #ChaosNavigator #FuturistInnovator #Innovation   #Economics

Swift Economics maybe a new area of specialisation in economics departments! It has many layers, including as highlighted by Dr Zhong in this article on the positive behavioural impacts from the role model effect. After the Matildas captivating a nation, the runaway success of the Barbie Movie and now Taylor Swift dominating music, sport and politics girls are seeing that there are no limits to what they can achieve, on their terms. In that vein, WEN encourages female economists out their interested in being role models for the next generation of female economists to sign up to our media register: https://lnkd.in/gwVzPQk. #economics #impact #behaviouraleconomics #rolemodels

I'm looking forward to hearing my Camber colleagues and Gates Foundation counterparts discuss the impact of particular life experiences on economic mobility this upcoming Wednesday. Please register to learn more about the ongoing research into mobility experiences: https://lnkd.in/e5BnTZe4

Surely Kant's 'categorical imperative' is one of the very biggest ideas in human history, and is more relevant today than ever, I would wager. In a nutshell : what's true for one thing should be true for all things like it -- this notion keeps us from making constant short-circuited category errors. On a social basis, it precludes self-serving, hypocritical exemptions made for oneself -- basically, it goes against any form of myopic, misguided 'exceptionalism'. This has had profound implications for ethics, politics and human rights in the past few centuries. It is emerging anew as a major force countering the new nationalism, the new fascism, and it greatly encourages responsibility/ personal agency involving environmental stewardship. Sure thing -- technically, Kant can make for challenging reading, but -- the invested effort is repaid exponentially for anyone who gives it a go. Total game-changer.

"He also argued that political and social relations must aim toward justice rather than power, however often those may be confused in practice. We’ve come to better understand how racism and sexism can preclude genuine universalism. Should we discard Kant’s commitment to universalism because he did not fully realize it himself — or rather celebrate the fact that we can make moral progress, an idea which Kant would wholeheartedly applaud? In Germany, it’s now common to hear that the Enlightenment was at very best ambivalent: While it may have been an age of reason, it was also an age of slavery and colonialism. This argument ignores the fact that, like progressive intellectuals everywhere, Enlightenment thinkers did not win all their battles. It also neglects the fact that they fought for them anyway, despite the risks of censorship, exile and even death. Significantly, many contemporary intellectuals from formerly colonized countries reject those arguments. Thinkers like the Ghanaian Ato Sekyi-Otu, the Nigerian Olufemi Taiwo, the Chilean Carlos Peña, the Brazilian Francisco Bosco or the Indian Benjamin Zachariah are hardly inclined to renounce Enlightenment ideas as Eurocentric. The problem with ideas like universal human rights is not that they come from Europe, but that they were not realized outside of it. Perhaps we should take a lesson from the Enlightenment and listen to non-Western standpoints?"

🫂 Legacy vs Supremacy 🛡️ What a great book passage reading by the eloquent and money savvy, Robert Breedlove. The choice of "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand may draw some criticism from skeptics and book lovers, but if liberty is your "cup of tea" this is more like music to the ears. These have been important questions time and time again and yet, we almost never really stop to ask ourselves.. What is money? The recent developments in Venezuela 🇻🇪 and the fact Argentina 🇦🇷 has become basically a "branch" of the US 🇺🇲 in South America (plus the fact parts of Brazil 🇧🇷 are such a "mirror" of culture in the region for the country) are enough to send "SHIVERS" down many Brazilians' spines. Considering the nature of American diplomacy in past decades and such dramatic changes happening (in a fairly accurate fashion) according to Ray Dalio's "Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail" theory.. Some scenarios can start to emerge.. 1) Will South America become the new Middle East? 2) Or will The Americas 🌎 become more open and integrated as a region as per the "Alliance for Progress" envisioned in 1961 by John F. Kennedy? Let us pray for N⁰ 2 as it could be a seriously positive development in many ways. But historically, unfortunately N⁰ 1 is still a very likely possibility today (even though it could have happened already?). Is there a N⁰ 3? Maybe we'll find out soon, but for now it's best if we educate ourselves to "weather the storm" of the #economy and diplomacy and how to best solve the issues - including but not limited - by the use of #technology. "Our Alliance for Progress is an alliance of free governments, and it must work to eliminate tyranny from a hemisphere in which it has no rightful place." -- John F Kennedy Balance is the reason.🧘🏻♂️ Borderless is the way. 🕉️ Eventually everything connects. 🌐 #management #education #future #motivation #humanresources

Lately, it feels like the US, and maybe the world, is unduly focused on what is happening in the realm of politics, instead of the amazing things happening in technology and science. This isn't new. I really enjoyed this post on why that is a mistake. Check it out if you feel like a dose of optimism amid all the political polarity! https://lnkd.in/eJVDh_cy "Though we tend to see history as just one political event after another, it’s technology and ideas, not politics, that change our lives the most. History should reflect that." "An understanding of the past in which not just our intellectual successes but our technological breakthroughs occupy pride of place would be very different from the political one that dominates now. Instead of politics and war, and the growth, rise, and decline of states and empires being the focus, the central story would rather be one of human cooperation and inventiveness, innovation and scientific and technological progress and discovery, and the improvement in human well-being than the deeds (often diabolical) of those with power.  The important figures would no longer be rulers, generals, prelates, and revolutionaries but scientists, entrepreneurs, and businessmen and -women. It is people like Joe Sutter, Juan Trippe, and Alexander Graham Bell who would be remembered."
