In any time of prolonged crisis, our responses depend on "the ideas that are lying around". But what if the various ideas that are growing in popularity, for adoption in a post-COVID social contract, are in profound tension with each other?

This London Futurists webinar features Bronwyn Williams, economist, futurist, and business trend analyst. Bronwyn will be drawing attention to a growing "trilemma" of choice, highlighting potential contradictions between, for example:

*) BTC (Bitcoin), along with other cryptocurrencies
*) MMT (Modern Monetary Theory), with its focus on a "Job Guarantee"
*) UBI (Universal Basic Income), with payments independent of employment status.

Other "ideas lying around" that will appear in this talk include the Doughnut Economy, Citizens' Assemblies, and FALC (Fully Automated Luxury Communism/Capitalism).

As Bronwyn will demonstrate, thinking through the potential interactions of these different ideas can allow us to identify creative new possibilities ahead of time.
