Agenda

Synopsis:
The three pillars of modern civilization (colonialism, patriarchy, and industrial economism) are rapidly losing their lustre and their relevance. Endless economic growth, an obsession with profits, industrial modes of production, and rampant competition are part of an obsolete narrative that helped shape the very conditions which are now signaling the collapse of our civilization and might even threaten our species with an uninhabitable planet.
Yet each element of the modern business enterprise - from its legal obligations and commercial motives to the way it chooses to organise and manage itself and its relationships, has been left stranded in flawed dogma and a moral credo that is misaligned, ineffective, maladaptive and, at worst, cancerous.
