(Ep. 89) Jacob Goldstein: Grow the pie

IN EPISODE 89: 

Is the world hopelessly divided into winners and losers, or are we all winning more over time? Jacob Goldstein thinks so - and in this episode, he explains why productivity gains have replaced zero-sum thinking with positive-sum realities. He shares data to support the notion that the pie has actually gotten bigger and that people are living better than ever before. One person's loss is not another person's gain -- and after listening to Jacob, you'll be motivated to keep expanding possibilities for yourself and others!
