As we face new economic upheaval in 2020, what lessons can we learn from the last global financial crisis? This episode looks at a seeming paradox: the 2008 financial crisis was a wrenching turning point for countless individuals and communities, but in the business world, it reinforced decades-old trends—from layoffs to political mobilization. This year's global economic crisis gives business an opportunity to reset perceptions that have festered since the last crisis.
