Rebecca Henderson is an economist and professor at the Harvard Business School. She is the author of the book "Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire," which was published in 2020. In the book, Henderson argues that capitalism, as currently practiced, is contributing to a range of social and environmental problems, and that it needs to be reimagined in order to address these challenges. She proposes a new model of capitalism that is more inclusive, sustainable, and accountable, and provides practical examples of companies that are already implementing these ideas. Henderson has also published research on corporate sustainability, innovation, and organizational change, and has over 25-years of experience.In this episode we cover:Is it too late to improve our economic systems?Did the pandemic make us greedier or more compassionate?Has capitalism failed us?And more!If you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to the show and rating it on Apple Podcasts or Spotify -- your support does make a difference.---Rebecca Henderson's Website: https://rebeccahenderson.com---Highlights00:00 Intro01:25 Rebecca’s Trajectory05:15 The first sustainability and economics course for Harvard Business School.09:00 How To Reimagine Capitalism.11:20 Is Capitalism Failing US?17:50 How can we Upgrade Capitalism?18:34 How Are Modern Market Forces are Manipulating Our Reward Systems?24:38 Is it Too Late to Fix Our Systems?33:30 How To Identify True Sustainable Companies vs. Those Greenwashing Their Products.40:01 Quickest Steps Towards A Better Future.45:57 Sustainability and Politics.49:00 The Lessons From The Pandemic.48:00 Are We Experiencing Less Emotions as a Species?53:20 Future Economic Trends To Look Out For.
