As we make great strides in technology in an increasingly globalized world, are we actually headed toward a century of eco-disaster and collapse? Listen as Ian Goldin, director of 21st Century School at Oxford, discusses the two Achilles' heels of rapid globalization: growing inequality and systemic risk. This is a valuable presentation for our young learners who will be responsible for the incredible consequences of technology and who will need great wisdom to support our future population.
