The world is a magic petri dish in two ways.
First of all, it's really big.
Our petri dish is just much bigger than we think.
More than half of the world's economic activity happens on way less than 1% of its surface.
And the second one is our petri dish is magic because it grows over time.
Great to be here, Rachel.
Fantastic.
Thanks, Rachel.
Yeah, you're right.
It does appear ambitious on the surface.
You're absolutely right.
And it goes against the grain a little bit, doesn't it, about how people are feeling about the world today.
But we started by looking back and we started kind of at the same time McKinsey was born around 1925 and looked at what happened to the world since then.
And we saw a world that kind of exploded with growth in a way that had never done before.
And the global economy now is actually 24 times bigger than it was in 1925.
So if we were in 1925 trying to plan our world today, we just would have been thinking way too small and we would have got it wrong.
And of course, we looked into, well, how did that machine work?
But it led to the natural question of if our grandchildren do the same thing and look back on our generation,
Will they see a plateau of humanity?
Will they see depopulation?
