785 – Reforming Capital Markets and Corporate Governance

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with Linda Crompton, MA, MBA, pioneering Canadian bank president and mutual fund innovator, what reforms still are needed in capital markets. They review the challenges and progress over the past decades as ethical, green investing began to go mainstream which now in the USA alone comprises $6.57 trillion or 18% of total investments. Future expansion is expected as accounting reforms expose real risks such as water shortages and climate change excluded in traditional financial models

795 – The Future of Education

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with Dr. William Abare, President, Flagler College, how education is changing. They explore the growing challenges to education: costs rising faster than inflation; students bearing $1.2 trillion in loans while facing disruptive technological changes and job markets shifting globally. Traditional colleges are challenged by massive open online courses (MOOCs) such as Khan Academy, backed by Bill Gates, and other start-ups now funded by Silicon Valley capitalists, with millions of students learning free online. How can the benefits of campus-based education be extended to include more student and help counter growing inequality?

791 – The Future of Business Education

In this program, Hazel Henderson explores innovative courses with Dr. Allison Roberts, Chair of the Business Administration Department, Flagler College. They critique the values underlying much traditional business education which still teach with obsolete textbooks and assumptions that self-interest competition is “human nature”. Old courses still assume the impacts of business activities harming others and their environmental costs can be “externalized” from company balance sheets. Dr. Roberts, whose doctorate is in health and labor economics, has designed a more scientific curriculum, taking account of social and technological changes that have changed the global economy. Dr. Roberts teaches broader analyses and strategies for business success and new scorecards so that her students can prosper in the 21^st century while contributing to more sustainable societies

792 – Reforming Business Education for Sustainable Economies

– In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with Linda Crompton, MA, MBA, pioneering Canadian bank president and mutual fund innovator, how business courses need to catch up with changes in today’s finance and business. They review the urgent need to reform curricula at business schools in North America and Europe. Many still are teaching from obsolete textbooks with faulty assumptions that still permit companies, financiers and governments to “externalize” the social and environmental impacts from their balance sheets and pass on the costs to taxpayers, citizens and the environment.

794 – Transitioning Economies Towards New Values

In this program, Hazel Henderson and Asian Markets Sustainability Analyst Matthew McGarvey, who has lived in China, Vietnam and regularly visits Asia, discuss trends toward new values beyond Western GDP-measured economic growth. Asian economics’ models tend toward the Chinese view that “markets are good servants but bad masters.” Government rule-setting and oversight are favored and often authoritarian. Matt McGarvey recounts his personal journey from growing up in America’s heartland to learning Chinese and working in Beijing, and his experiences in Vietnam and other Asian countries.

788 – Robots Taking Over: What Will Humans Do?

In this program, Hazel Henderson and NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell explore the advance of automation as ever more sectors of industrial societies are digitized: from manufacturing to retailing, accounting, healthcare, education, legal services and even finance. Driverless vehicles will end jobs in trucking, taxis, which offer millions of entry-level opportunities. Fly-by-wire airplanes have caused the deskilling of pilots, some of whom have been confused when computerized navigation systems have failed – causing crashes. Can computerized systems be programmed with human values: empathy, compassion and ethics? Can a driverless car pass an ethical test of judgment: swerving to avoid hitting a group of people at the expense of colliding with a single person? Bushnell points out how much more efficient computers are at many tasks than humans. Henderson looks at the macro-effects: how can economies maintain aggregate demand to buy all the new productivity’s goods and services? How can people obtain purchasing power if not from jobs? They discuss alternatives emerging: worker-owned companies, cooperative enterprises and guaranteed basic incomes now enacted in Brazil, Mexico and proposed in Switzerland, Europe and the USA.

787 – Privacy in the New Media Age Versus the First Amendment: Part II

– In this program, Hazel Henderson continues discussing with Professor Jon L. Mills his current book, Privacy in the New Media Age. The conversation focuses on the USA and how the Constitution favors free speech and press in the First Amendment over individual rights to privacy. Mills cites many examples of how individuals are harmed in today’s social media, by false statements by bloggers, ubiquitous cameras in public places, tracking individuals’ movements via their cellphones and GPS. They explore data-collecting by government and by corporations selling users’ personal data to advertisers, as well as snooping by drones. Again, these new technologies and media have outrun the law and public awareness and in some cases even dubious rulings by the Supreme Court.

Rising Sea Levels Worldwide Part 1 – John Englander 796

In this program Hazel Henderson discusses with John Englander, geologist and oceans expert, author of Rising Tide on Main Street, the steady rise of global oceans due to global atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.  The Earth’s temperature continues rising as fossil fuels are burned, oceans absorb additional CO2, glaciers and ice sheets at the planet’s poles are melting.  Englander studies coastlines and show visual evidence of the effects on the World’s 20 most vulnerable cities: Boston, New York, Washington DC, Seattle, San Diego, as well as Shanghai, London, Bangkok and low-lying countries Holland, the Philippines and many small island sates.  In some areas, land is also sinking, and in others tectonic plates cause the land under, for example Los Angeles, to rise.  Since 2015, 195 countries have agreed to address these largely human-caused effects with transition management strategies: investments in adaptation, sea walls, more and higher levees, relocation of humans settlements and shifting to renewable energy.  Timeframes for action are reviewed.  Transition management begins with realistic views of global change.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

Common Good Capitalism – Terry Mollner 798

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses transition management strategies and the likely next stage of capitalism with Terry Mollner, author of Common Good Capitalism: It’s Next! and board member of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, now owned by global food giant Unilever.  Terry describes the saga of this negotiation with Ben and Jerry’s shareholders, their effort to remain independent and how their social mission was recognized and began to change Unilever.  Terry points to the current wave of mega-mergers in our global economy, where brands in food, air travel, communications and many other sectors end up cooperating as duopolies.  In this world beyond competition companies can reach a new level: changing their goals and business models so as to place top priority on cooperatively serving the common good with competitive profit-seeking taking second place.  How to square this with anti-trust conventions will be key.  These startling views will be hotly debated as human populations and economies learn transition management strategies as tools to develop further on our small finite planet. Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

Global system Change Part 1 – Frank Dixon 800

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses a range of global challenges and transition management strategies with Frank Dixon (Harvard MBA), former head of global research with the famed, pioneering social auditing firm Innovest.  They discuss the ways in which global geopolitics is evolving in response to the systemic changes to our planet’s ecosystems due to human activities.  As water shortages, drought, floods and climate disruption effect more countries and populations, decision-makers in business government and civic society are seeing that all these problems are inter-linked.  Frank Dixon’s book, Global System Change, maps these global issues and connects the dots.  At the same time, Henderson points to the same new awareness by over 190 member countries of the United Nations in their 2015 agreement on the 17 issues addressed in their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  There is now evidence that humans are accepting responsibility for the changes created by unsustainable industrial development and moving toward integrated policies.  These realistic approaches to transition management can lead to cleaner, healthier, more equitable societies on which our survival may depend.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

Beyond Blood Stained Gems: New Science & Standards – Frank Dixon 802

In this program, Hazel Henderson explores with Frank Dixon, MBA, author of Global System Change, the damaging effects of the global gem mining industry, now a case study in transition management.  This industry has been the focus of many NGO critics since diamond mining is not only dangerous and polluting, but has helped fuel armed conflicts in many African countries.  Several UN resolutions have addressed the need to stop the flow of these “blood diamonds” and the global diamond cartel has responded with the Kimberley Certification which only certifies their diamonds are “conflict-free”.  This ignores the much larger problems of miners’ injuries, deaths, low wages and the pollution of water supplies and air in mining areas and communities.  Beyond these hazards is the fact that this gem mining industry is now obsolete and unnecessary, since science now produces identical gems in laboratories in many countries without human and environmental damage.  Thus Dixon examines Ethical Markets transition management tool: its global standard, EthicMark® GEMS which certifies only gems not mined from the Earth.  Dixon asks Henderson how this better standard was developed and how it can challenge this obsolete mining industry by this market-based transition to reform: EthicMark® GEMS can create a healthier new industry and many thousands of new jobs while saving lives, human misery and the environment – an illustration of positive transition management.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

Rise of the Benefit Corporation – Marcello Palazzi 804

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with Marcello Palazzi, MBA, president of the Progressio Foundation in Holland, his latest work in transition management by promoting the new business charter: the Benefit Corporation, which certifies companies  which focus beyond profitability to service and benefit society.  This new model is now legally chartered in 30 states in the USA, also in Latin America and Europe.  The founders of Certified B Corporations Jay Coen Gilbert, Andrew Kassoy and Bart Houlahan recently were awarded a coveted prized by the Aspen Institute.  Palazzi and Henderson explore examples of B Corporations, which include Ethical Markets Media.  This new socially responsible business model is enjoying rapid growth and includes several publicly traded corporations.  These examples are further case studies in positive transition management.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

13. The Future: Toward Full-Spectrum Accounting – Alice Tepper Marlin 808

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with Alice Tepper-Marlin, president-emeritus of SAI International and founder of 10-Squared, the future of accounting for ethical, social and environmental performance of portfolios, companies and governments.  This important tool of transition management is full-spectrum accounting, a multi-disciplinary method.  This goes beyond the earlier money-based models evaluating life-cycle costs and recognizing 6 kinds of capital: financial, built facilities, intellectual, social, human and natural capital.  These broader metrics are now promulgated globally by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and in the USA by Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB), chaired by Michael Bloomberg.  At last, the obsolete models in traditional economics permitting social and environmental costs to be “externalized” is exposed as irresponsible.  Tepper-Marlin describes her latest venture 10-Squared, another transition management innovation and management tool for companies to achieve better social and environmental performance goals.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015
