Thought-provoking, far-reaching discussion about things that matter in this segment. Worth a listen.
On this episode, Nate is joined by co-founder of GMO Financial Holdings, Jeremy Grantham, to discuss how finance, human population, ecology, and pollution interact to shape current trends and what they could tell us about the future. Mr. Grantham unpacks why the expectations of perpetual growth – in the economy, standards of living, and finance – are not so likely and that when looking at the system holistically, we should expect large paradigm shifts in the coming decades. What can the pattern of super (stock market) bubbles over the last century tell us about the larger resource bubble we find ourselves in? How will rapidly changing population demographics and fertility rates interact with the other global crises we face? How might endocrine-disrupting chemicals impact these other trends? Where should investors be focusing energy and resources to make the largest and most positive impact on human and planetary futures? Here is a direct video link.
