Are We Entering a "Neo-Medieval" Era?: A Conversation with Greg Lewicki

Summary

Our world is being marked by a transition of epochs towards a more “Neo-Medieval” era. What is even meant by “Neo-Medieval”? Greg Lewicki argues that “Neo-Medieval” is characterized by seven megatrends that are shaping our world in this direction which will be the subject of discussion in this episode. Of course, by invoking the term medieval, this has nothing to do with the stereotype of the so-called “Dark Ages” that dominates popular imagination.

A graduate of the London School of Economics with a focus on game theory as well as Maastricht University with a focus on the future of science.
