Get ready for the Great Global Disruption, where the future of work and the planet hangs in the balance! Our economy is being radically reshaped by two titans: Artificial Intelligence and Globalization. While AI promises breakthrough efficiency, it's simultaneously fueling an unsustainable energy crisis from data centers and triggering a massive job squeeze, particularly for middle-skill workers. Concurrently, globalization is proving resilient, adapting to political protectionism through corporate strategies of arbitrage and aggregation. The critical question: Can we sustain endless growth in this "hot, flat, and crowded" world? We'll explore the urgent pivot away from perpetual GDP growth toward post-growth models focused on well-being and equity, highlighting the human-centric jobs—those requiring empathy and creativity—that offer the only true shield against both AI and market flux. Tune in to understand the four possible futures of our interconnected world and how cooperation, not competition, will determine our economic resilience.
