Welcome back to "Numbers & Narratives"! Join hosts Judith Stroehle and Laura Edinger-Schons as they delve into the heart of capitalism and its role in addressing global crises.

In this episode, they are joined by none other than Professor Colin Mayer, Emeritus Professor of Finance and former Dean at the prestigious Said Business School, Oxford University. Professor Mayer's latest book, "Capitalism and Crises: How to Fix Them," presents a compelling thesis: capitalism can be the solution, not the cause, of pressing issues like climate change and pandemics.

Central to his argument is the concept of "just profit" — redefining success not solely by financial metrics, but by the positive impact businesses have on society and the environment.

In their conversation, they explore the power of numbers and narratives in catalyzing change, discussing concepts like true cost and just profit. How can financial data and compelling narratives steer capitalism towards a more sustainable and equitable future? What practical steps can be taken to shift the paradigm from profit-driven to purpose-driven capitalism?

Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation as they embark on a journey of discovery with Professor Colin Mayer, exploring the intersection of capitalism, crises, and the quest for a better world.
