Is there a blueprint for a better future? Economics psychology Professor Michael Muthukrishna explores this concept in his new book A Theory of Everyone: Who We Are, How We Got Here and Where We’re Going drawing on research from science, humanities and cultural evolution to understand humanity and our path forward.

On Thursday 18 January 12:00 -13:00, Michael joined Nesta CEO Ravi Gurumurthy for a fireside chat to explore how society can come together and create radical solutions to the world’s most pressing problems: from mass immigration to climate change.

Michael and Ravi discussed insights from Michael’s work, why “collective brains” could be the key to unlocking radical innovation and the solutions for the most urgent challenges facing our collective future.
