The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Today’s Unthinkable World: An Entrepreneurial Perspective
This course helps you make sense of the disorder, chaos, and uncertainty shaping today’s world. You’ll explore the “good” — promising technologies, mindsets, and positive economic outcomes; the “bad” — disparities and inequalities created by these forces; and the “ugly” — those who seek to undermine economic systems. Through real-world examples, you’ll see how different actors impact the global economy.
You will also discover entrepreneurial solutions aimed at building a hopeful and sustainable future for humanity.
