In this episode, Alison and Jerome got on board with Jonathan Haidt to discuss social media and how these platforms have changed social relationships and political discourse, and how this eventually impacts business. They also talked about structural stupidity and how giving everyone a voice is not necessarily the panacea everyone thought to be. Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist at NYU-Stern. He studies moral and political psychology and business ethics. His latest essay "Why the past 10 years of American life have been uniquely stupid" is available at this link: <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/05/social-media-democracy-trust-babel/629369/" rel="noopener">https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/05/social-media-democracy-trust-babel/629369/</a> Breaking the Fever is produced by Fiorella Lavorgna - <a href="http://www.bevocal.eu" rel="noopener">www.bevocal.eu</a>

S2-02 I Geopolitical shifts - with Tina Fordham

The pandemic has highlighted severe inequity, revealed a global leadership crisis, and generated widespread frustration with the status quo. In companies, workers are calling for more say over key strategic decisions and holding their employers to account. In political systems, both democratic and authoritarian regimes are under pressure, and the neoliberal consensus has dissolved. In the financial system, capitalism is in crisis. We don’t like our current power structures, but new ones have yet to emerge to replace them. Breaking the Fever is hosting a series of conversations to explore perspectives of shifting power and authority, looking at where we’ve come from and asking where to from here.Your hosts are Alison Taylor and Jérôme TaggerBreaking the Fever is produced by Fiorella Lavorgna - www.bevocal.eu
