Envisioning a Trustworthy Civilization: A Conversation with George Kinder on Fiduciary Principles
In this episode of the Mindful Money Podcast, Jonathan hosts George Kinder to discuss the potential of applying fiduciary principles—putting clients’ interests first—beyond financial advice to all institutions, including corporations and governments. George shares his journey and vision for a more humane and trustworthy world, inspired by lessons from the 2008 financial crisis and his global experiences. The conversation dives into systemic changes needed, the feasibility of such transformations, and how these ideas align with and challenge current capitalistic frameworks. George advocates for a grassroots movement driven by these principles, hinting at a future where enhanced trust and ethical standards in all institutions could lead to a more entrepreneurial and sustainable global society.
