One Planet Summit is a conference held in America that brings together leaders and visionaries to bridge business and spiritual insight to inspire real-world solutions and foster a community of collaborators. Their goal is to elevate business to serve humanity.
This video shares one of the talks from the 2023 summit. We hear from Sean Hinton, former CEO of the Soros Economic Fund. He posits that capitalism itself may be the root cause of the very problems we seek to solve. Not because it is broken, but because it is working all too well. Sean has dedicated his career to harnessing the power of markets to address economic challenges and striving to leverage capitalism for social good. However, his journey has led him to a profound realization: we need a new way of thinking. Inspired by Brian Stevenson’s approach to building social justice, Sean proposes four powerful remedies that can help us all build spiritual capital, where our economic decisions and systems are in coherence with our ideals.
