About the show

From the McKinsey Global Institute, the Century of Plenty podcast explores a defining question of our time: what will it take to create universal prosperity for generations to come? Inspired by the book A Century of Plenty, authors and co-hosts Sven Smit, Chris Bradley, Nick Leung, and Marc Canal bring together pioneering thinkers, world-class experts, innovators, and business leaders for bold conversations about the forces shaping humanity’s future. Unapologetically optimistic, the podcast looks to the breakthroughs, choices, and ideas that could unlock a new era of global progress across innovation, technology, demographics, energy, investment, and financial markets. For leaders, builders, and the intellectually curious.
