The problems of capitalism are, in their essence, not about money, law or politics, but about human psychology – the field of expertise of The School of Life.


As this hugely original essay argues, the path to a better sort of capitalism starts with a clear-eyed understanding of our emotional functioning and the workings of our psyches.

As this hugely original essay argues, the path to a better sort of capitalism starts with a clear-eyed understanding of our emotional functioning and the workings of our psyches.
