The pandemic has highlighted severe inequity, revealed a global leadership crisis, and generated widespread frustration with the status quo. In companies, workers are calling for more say over key strategic decisions and holding their employers to account. In political systems, both democratic and authoritarian regimes are under pressure, and the neoliberal consensus has dissolved. In the financial system, capitalism is in crisis. We don’t like our current power structures, but new ones have yet to emerge to replace them. Breaking the Fever is hosting a series of conversations to explore perspectives of shifting power and authority, looking at where we’ve come from and asking where to from here.

10 NOV 2022 · What’s the relationship between democracy and market performance?
Starting from his experience in Russia after the end of the Soviet Union, moving to his observations on ancient Greece, and then his work examining the role of women in societal success, Jim Leitner gives us many lessons and much to chew on the question of how markets tend to reward those states that make democratic reforms.
James Leitner serves as President of Falcon Management Corporation, a family office. He established the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School, an innovative Think-and-Do Tank that aims to make international human rights protections an everyday reality for marginalized communities worldwide.
Books recommendation by Jim:

7 LUG 2022 · Within the strategy of countering the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many states are targeting Russian oligarchs with economic sanctions and other restrictive measures.
But who are these oligarchs, and how do they live their lives? How did they build their wealth, and how did western capitalist elites benefit from their presence?

Elisabeth lives in London and is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Policy at Aston University, Birmingham, UK.

9 GIU 2022 · The struggle for equality in the workplace has focused on getting more women on boards or in the political sphere for years. However, where this has led to some achievements, the way that we value some work over others continues to distort our economy and undermine equity and advancement for women.
Child care, volunteer work, and parental care are fundamental for the well-being of our society. Yet, first, these activities are usually relegated to women, which means they are undervalued. This in turn makes the economic gap between mothers and non-mother greater than the one between women and men. While #MeToo seemed to advance the role of women at work, more recently we seem to have taken two steps back.
In this episode, Alison and Jerome discuss gender equality and shifting power dynamics in the workspace with Laetita Vitaud.
Laetitia is a writer and speaker about the future of work with a feminist perspective.
The list of her publications, in English and French, and her latest book “En finir avec la productivité” are available on Laetita’s website: https://laetitiavitaud.com/
