Looking for silver linings may be an integral part of the human condition. Even during the bleakest moments—like during a global pandemic, a global recession, leadership failures and profound social stress almost everywhere—we try to find bits and pieces of positive energy and new ideas. In this episode of Tällberg’s "New Thinking for a New World” host Alan Stoga leads Juan Enriquez, one of the world’s leading authorities on the economic and political impact of life science technology, and Fiorenzo Omenetto, who works at the cutting edge of living materials engineering, on a search for the upside of the global mess.

American Carnage or American Dream? It matters to everyone everywhere whether or not the United States is in terminal decline or (painfully) resetting the basis of its democracy and its society. If the former, the global order will change in incalculable ways, for better or for worse. If the latter, life after the pandemic could actually be better.
In Tällberg’s New Thinking for a New World podcast series, Alan Stoga asks three global thinkers—a Mexican journalist (Ana Paula Ordorica), a Kenyan poet (Sitawa Namwalie) and a Congolese choreographer (Faustin Linyekula)—what they think is happening in America now. Let us know in our social media channels what YOU think.

Maybe this mess—a resurgent pandemic, collapsing economy, screaming politicians, and deep racial inequalities laid bare—is exactly what the United States needs. Maybe the outcome will be a more normal country, instead of one that thinks it is exceptional. That might be better for Americans as well as for the rest of the world, argues Jorge Castañeda, a Mexican educator, diplomat, author and former Foreign Minister in Tällberg’s latest, New Thinking for a New World conversation with Alan Stoga. In this episode, Castañeda talks about some of the ideas from his latest book, “America Through Foreign Eyes” and explains why he thinks the United States is heading in exactly the right direction.
