What would it take for everyone in the world to enjoy the living standards of Switzerland today by 2100?
In this episode of the Century of Plenty podcast, Sven Smit, Chris Bradley, Nick Leung, and Marc Canal discuss the ideas behind their new book, A Century of Plenty: A story of progress for generations to come. They discuss:
◼ Why the past century’s sixfold increase in global prosperity provides reason for optimism about the future, and why today’s pessimism may overlook the lessons of history.
◼ How AI, energy, productivity, and innovation could enable billions more people to reach an “empowerment” standard of living while addressing climate change and resource constraints.
◼ Why growth and inclusion should go hand in hand, and how affordability, inequality, and a renewed willingness to build will shape the next century of progress.
