Central banks and governments continue to wrestle with policy-driven inflation, forcing investors to seek new shelters. Is Bitcoin the ultimate escape hatch, or is it too volatile to be considered a true hedge? This episode explores the Inflation Hedge Paradox: While Bitcoin offers decentralized scarcity (like ""digital gold""), its price often tracks risk assets, not inflation. We analyze the policy shift as governments embrace ETFs and regulation, examining the purpose of crypto in the modern portfolio. Is Bitcoin transitioning from an anarchic alternative to a regulated asset class that central banks will ultimately rely on?

For two decades, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was largely voluntary, leading to widespread ""social washing""—making claims without verifiable action. That era is over. This episode dives into the profound policy shift toward Mandatory Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence (mHRDD), spearheaded by the EU's CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive). We analyze how this new policy forces companies to move beyond simple supplier checklists and implement continuous Social Audits deep into their supply chain. What does this mean for sourcing ethics, civil liability for human rights abuses, and the true purpose of a global supply chain? Learn the concrete steps companies must take now to comply and turn this compliance burden into a competitive advantage.

As AI moves from a technical tool to a core operational layer, the potential for unintended harm—from algorithmic bias in hiring to lack of transparency in lending—becomes a critical business risk. This episode examines the Governance & Ethics Angle of AI, detailing the shift from aspirational guidelines to mandatory internal policy. We reveal how leading companies are establishing the Algorithmic Compass: setting up specialized AI Ethics Boards, integrating the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and appointing Chief AI Ethics Officers (CAIEOs). Learn the three pillars of responsible AI—Fairness, Explainability, and Accountability—and the purpose of building trust into every stage of the AI lifecycle.

The movement for a 4-Day Work Week (4 days, 32 hours, 100% pay) is not just a perk—it's a critical new labor policy. This episode examines the economic purpose behind it: Is it simply a productivity hack, or a fundamental way to distribute the wealth created by automation and AI? We dive into the 100:80:100 model and the hard data from global trials (UK, Iceland, Japan) showing significant drops in burnout, absenteeism, and utility costs, often while maintaining or boosting revenue. However, we also confront the policy challenges: Does it work for all sectors (healthcare, retail)? And how do policymakers ensure the productivity gains translate into better lives for the working class who cannot work remotely?
