We live in times of abundance, yet our incapacity to govern it is tearing societies apart. In this episode of “The Policy Nerd” Podcast 🎙️, Manuel Muñiz, the Provost of IE University in Madrid and former Spanish Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, delves into the profound transformations our societies, economies, and governance systems are experiencing. The changes may be not as visual but they are as significant as what has happened at the end of the Cold War with the undoing of the international order, fracturing of the social contract, and the hollowing of the middle class leading to the hollowing of the middle of the political spectrum. What is peculiar is that is not a problem of scarcity but a product of the incapacity to manage and govern abundance well. What are the solutions? He says we need to embrace complexity, with governments needing to take the space and the opportunity to reshape the welfare state, the redistributive mechanisms, the taxation, the competitions and the antitrust policies. Joined-up reforms are needed on all fronts. To gain a deeper understanding of how this can be achieved, tune into his enlightening conversation with UNESCO's Gabriela Ramos 👉https://lnkd.in/ePiYUiJT #UNESCO #Governance #Podcast
