Program: Rethinking productivity and the pushback to shareholder capitalism

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

It's time to rethink what we mean by productivity, says work futurist, Dominic Price. What's important isn't output, but outcomes. And confusing the two, he says, is simply counter-productive!

Also, benefit corporations — why many businesses are moving away from an obsession with profit at all cost; And why a compulsory savings model could help control inflation without raising interest rates.
