Date - Monday 22nd July 2024Arunjay Katakam joins Jack Farren on The Social Impact Journal to discuss his new book 'Generation Hope: How Inclusive Economics can help us all Thrive.'Over the last two decades, Arunjay has had a front row seat in development and finance, both on the rich and poor side of the coin. He believes that our current economic system is broken and growth at all costs is unsustainable.Arunjay shares why he left investment banking for international development, why he decided to write the book and why he is now focused on building non-profit startups.Generation Hope explores the historical, political, economic, and cultural foundations that got us where we are today, and delves into what it’s going to take to insure that we are headed toward a sustainable future that benefits us all. Written in clear and compelling prose, the book addresses a wide range of today’s most pressing economic issues, from the macroeconomic challenges that humanity collectively faces, to our personal engagement with our current economic system.This book illustrates how to continue moving from a mindset of scarcity and survival to one of abundance and thriving, from narrow-minded self interest to an awareness that we are part of a much larger interconnected whole.All profits from the book will be donated to non-profit Acumen, and Arunjay explains in the episode why he decided to support Acumen.Listeners of the podcast can access a complimentary version of the book here: https://www.arunjay.com/compbookConnect with Arunjay here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arunjay/[email protected] up to date with the latest on the podcast on:Instagram: @thesocialimpactjournalLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-social-impact-journalTwitter: @sijpodcastTiktok: @thesocialimpactjournal
