Philip Pilkington

Philip Pilkington, author of The Collapse of Global Liberalism, challenges conventional economic wisdom by investigating why many Americans feel poorer despite rising consumption. He critiques GDP as a misleading measure of prosperity, emphasizing the need for metrics that reflect human flourishing. The discussion touches on the ethical implications of profit-driven motives in essential services and critiques the rise of private equity. Pilkington also explores the decline of global liberalism and the potential return to traditional values in society.
