Audio discussions and summaries of Mark Steven Hewitt's forthcoming book The Wealth of Humanity: Together We Prosper.
Long before money, the people who lived along the Indus survived the ice ages with stone, fire, knowledge and each other. Their wealth was what they knew and what they shared, and they handed it from one generation to the next.
Each episode follows a thread of that inheritance: the first villages at Mehrgarh and the cities of the Indus; Adam Smith's wealth of nations and the five kinds of wealth that money alone cannot measure; a country taking stock of its energy, water, minerals, health and learning; and how the people of a place can plan, build and keep what they build so that it outlasts its founders.
Insight into the development of a truly regenerative future. Together we prosper; apart we fail.
