This podcast is dedicated to exploring and conceptualising the unification of humanity. What is it, how do we imagine it, and how might we move ourselves toward it? What can we do as human beings, to pursue this greatest of objectives, and what stands in our way? Moreover, what will be possible once we get there? If you're tired of short term thinking, and a world preoccupied with immediacy and distraction, perhaps consider joining us, as we look beyond the now.
Finance Rewired explores the issues and ideas that are shaping the next generation of financial services. We feature conversations with policymakers, entrepreneurs and thought leaders who are at the forefront of rethinking (and rewiring) financial products and the economy.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) has been called the “prince of paradox.” Time magazine observed of his writing style: “Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out.” His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction. The title of Chesteron’s 1910 collection of essays was inspired by a title given to him two years earlie ...

'In order to save politics', writes Ranciere, 'it must be pulled aground among the shepherds'. And yet, as Ranciere points out, this always entails the paradox that to fou ...
