EP 1.1 After Capitalism: Designing Economic Futures with Andy Hines
Join host Vinny Tafuro and guest Andy Hines, Assistant Professor and Program Director of the graduate program in foresight at The University of Houston as they discuss Andy’s new book Imagining After Capitalism. The book is the culmination of professional futurist Andy’s 10-year exploration of what comes next after capitalism. Arguing that the absence of compelling positive alternatives keeps us stuck in a combination of fear, denial, and false hope, he offers three “guiding images” for the long-term future.
