Let Me Know the Rules: Development, Dignity and the Power Beneath Progress

from reverberations with John Stuart Hosted by John Stuart

Send us Fan Mail Despite all our progress, something is amiss. In this episode, we take a hard look at how we’ve learned to define “development” and who it actually serves. From GDP and productivity metrics to education, healthcare and everyday work life; we explore how growth-focused systems often increase output while subtly compromising dignity, connection and well-being. This is a grounded, human conversation about power, values and the hidden rules shaping our lives; both globally and right at home. This episode invites you to rethink progress, notice where the system shows up in your own life.
