Roman Krznaric

History offers a vision of radical hope that could turn out to be our most vital tool for surviving and thriving in the turbulent decades ahead. 

What can humankind’s rich history of radical revolts teach us about the power of disobedience to tackle the climate crisis? What inspiration could we take from 18th century Japan to create a regenerative economy today? How might understanding the origins of capitalism spark ideas for bringing AI under control? 

In his book “History for Tomorrow”, leading social philosopher Roman Krznaric unearths fascinating insights and inspiration from the last 1,000 years of world history that could help us confront the most urgent challenges facing humanity in the twenty-first century. 

Roman joins us to discuss his compelling contention that history is not simply a means of understanding the past but a way of reimagining our relationship with the future.
