INTRODUCING THE
#futureverse
In Partnership with:
Lucy Kellaway OBE, Adrienne Buller, Simon Brewer and Jon Sopel
How do we define value? How has this changed over time? And who has a say over what is deemed valuable or worthless? For centuries, society has seen value mainly through an economic lens, one takes a job because of its monetary benefits; marriage is a financially beneficial relationship to enable stability; and the true test of a business is its profit at the end of the year.
But is this changing? In recent years, factors such as climate change, social justice, and technological advances have forced us to reconsider how we define value.
For our second event in the Futureverse series, we will be joined by former longtime FT columnist, now charity founder, author and maths and economics teacher Lucy Kellaway OBE; alongside Adrienne Buller, author of The Value of a Whale, the book that examines the truth of "green capitalism"; and former banker, co-creator and host of the award-winning Money Maze podcast, Simon Brewer. Chairing the discussion will be Jon Sopel, award-winning journalist, broadcaster and author.
