Is History Repeating Itself on Climate, Government, and Business?

Episode SummarySeptember 11th, 2001, was a day of horror that changed our sense of self and our place in the world. It also changed the US economy, shaping everything from government policy to how businesses operate. This episode explores the decades-long aftershock of that day, alongside those of another day in 2001: December 11th, when China joined the WTO. Examining these stories together challenges simple narratives that globalization will make societies richer and in time, more democratic. What comes next—and how should businesses prepare? Episode NotesGuestsLinda Bilmes, Jim Barkley, Regina Abrami HostMichelle HarvenWriting and ProductionWritten by Keith Schumann with input from T.A.

Two Geopolitical Shocks of 2001

In most tellings, the 2000 tech crash is a straightforward story: the music stopped and unprofitable dot-com companies failed, paving the way for the more innovative companies of the Web 2.0 era. This episode explores a very different view of the tech crash: as a key turning point where the idealism of early web entrepreneurs gave way to new business practices that would in time, drive today’s backlash against technology companies—the “techlash.” This fresh look at tech’s evolution suggests new answers for idealism in tech, and for promoting greater equality and innovation in the US economy.  GuestsJerry Davis, Brian McCullough, Jaime Levy HostMichelle HarvenWriting and ProductionWritten by Keith Schumann with input from T.A.

Lessons for the Techlash from the Tech Crash

In 2019, a global trade war fueled by populist nationalism has raised fears of recession and is forcing businesses to re-think decades-long supply chains. If businesses want to understand this backlash to globalization, they first need to understand it’s been decades in the making. Academics and protesters warned of it in the nineties, culminating in the Battle for Seattle on November 30, 1999. So if the warning of a backlash to globalization was loud and clear twenty years ago, why wasn’t it heeded? And what happens next? Guests: Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Jia-Ching Chen, Susan Ariel Aaronson, Richard EdelmanHost: Michelle HarvenWritten by Keith Schumann with input from T.A.
