How can we make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone?  I believe we are bringing forth the very improvement to free-enterprise capitalism that can deliver on that promise. 

- Buckminster Fuller

This week we present another encore episode with economic futurist and social entrepreneur, Joel Hodroff. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the impacts of poverty and we know as a result of the pandemic, many more people face lower and deteriorating qualities of life. Joel speaks to some of the history of our economic system as well as some ideas for how to create a Win-Win Economy Through Better Free Enterprise and People/Planet-Centered Design. His ideas are not only possible now but perhaps even more needed!  We hope you enjoy this encore episode.
