Circular Knowledge.
What goes around, comes around – even knowledge.
Identity, purpose, and the courage to act
In part two of this Swedish-language episode, Christopher Ahlström continues the conversation with Johan Lassing and Micael Bydén. The focus shifts from the big picture to what rapid change means for people and society.
Listen in to hear their thoughts on why meaning and identity matter more than ever, how Sweden's institutional strengths can be carried forward, and what kind of leadership is needed to go from words to action. If you missed part one on renaissance, technology, and geopolitics, you'll find it in the same feed.
Renaissance, technology, and geopolitics
