Summary

Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup and founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, joins the podcast to discuss his new book Incorruptible. We explore why so many governance systems fail to support long-term thinking, the concept of "financial gravity," and what genuinely reform-minded governance could look like, from AI governance, public benefit corporations, to "mission-locked constellations."
