From grassroots innovations to systemic design, they explore why isolated solutions aren’t enough — and what it takes to move from fragmented “Lego blocks” to new economic operating systems.If you’re thinking about the future of policy, capital, and society, this episode is an invitation to reconnect the pieces — and build an economy that actually serves life.---🔷 Guest Bio (Katherine Trebeck)Katherine Trebeck is a political economist and a leading voice in the global wellbeing economy movement.
