Sociologist/Economist Wharton Professor Mauro Guillen discusses what we will look like in 2030. He features this in his new book “2030: How Today’s Biggest Trends Will Collide and Reshape the Future of Everything.”
Mauro Guillen, an MBA with which to have a substantive conversation.
This interview was one of my most enjoyable interviews as it was clear to me that one educated in the bowels of capitalism can think objectively about humanity. I generally find MBAs very shallow and devoid of their humanity, given the programming and indoctrination from business schools. Mauro Guillen was an exception.
I doubt that the professor classifies himself under any specific ideology. Professor Mauro Guillen shares the tenet many real progressives also share. We must build a business model around the humanity we desire our society to adhere to in no uncertain terms. I was impressed with his empathetic tone to our current condition.
