Today, we face a multidimensional crisis that is not only a public health crisis but also an economic and social crisis characterized by rising inequalities, on the backdrop of a worsening environmental crisis. This multidimensional crisis is fundamentally a crisis of power concentration. This moment requires changemakers develop a deep understanding of the innerworkings of power. Why? Not only to understand how we have reached this point, but also because power is an essential ingredient for effecting change. Leaning on Battilana’s two books—Power, For All (2021), and Democratize Work: The Case for Reorganizing the Economy (2022), this talk will dive into what changemakers must know about power and can do with it to confront the multidimensional crisis, fight the massive concentration of power, and help change our social and economic systems to make them more fair, more green, and more just.
