Historian Rutger Bregman on War in Ukraine, the Pandemic and Human Decency| Room for Discussion Room for Discussion 2022-03-10 | Room for Discussion’s last big guest has authored two international bestsellers, has gone viral after taking on the wealthy at Davos and has been hailed as the “Dutch Wunderkind of new ideas” by the Guardian.Rutger Bregman studied History in Utrecht and Los Angeles, and has been writing ever since he graduated 10 years ago. His first book “Utopia for Realists” is a collection of radical ideas for life in the 21st century. Bregman advocates for a universal basic income, a 15 hour working week and an end to borders.We have invited him to Room for Discussion to discuss ideas from his newest book, “Humankind”, a New York Times Bestseller. Using scientific evidence from many fields, Bregman argues that at the end of the day, most people are decent.We discussed with him whether that is really true. We looked at whether there is any decency in the current war in Ukraine, and how the bloodshed can be explained if we're supposedly all decent. We also discussed the dividing lines that cut our society into camps of “good” and “bad”, “us” and “them” during the pandemic, and considered ways to overcome these differences. At the end, we addressed the most existential challenges we face as a generation, from climate change to extreme poverty and the question: what will life be like in 50 years?Interviewer: Gabriel Garbers--------------------------------- Do you want to see more interviews and be the first to hear about upcoming guests?

Luis de Guindos: Vice President of the European Central Bank Room for Discussion 2022-04-17 | We are truly excited to welcome Luis de Guindos, vice-president of the European Central Bank (ECB) to our stage. This seasoned economist has had an impressive career. De Guindos took office as head of the Spanish and Portuguese department of Lehman Brothers before the fall. He served as Spanish Minister of Economy and Competitiveness, where he became credited with steering Spain to economic recovery after the euro crisis. Since 2018, he takes the prestigious position of vice-president of the ECB, the most important financial institution of Europe.There is no better time to interview this leading economist. The Ukrainian war has increased tensions for the entire continent including the financial sector and the energy uncertainty will increase inflation rates even further. What role does the ECB play and what steps will they take given the rising inflation and potential recession? What impact do the sanctions have on us and on the war? What happens to the interest rate and the economy as a whole? What impact will it have on the North South divide within the EU? And what will happen to greening of monetary policy? This and much more will be discussed. --------------------------------- Do you want to see more interviews and be the first to hear about upcoming guests?
