About this listen

Technology and innovation surround us. They are celebrated too often in the news. But have we ever stopped to think about their impact on our climate, cultures, and societies? Are there dimensions to it we might be missing? Spanner in the System gums up the works, making us pause and think about these impacts.

Spanner in the System is presented by The ETC Group, with the support of HBF-Hong Kong, produced by PumaPodcast.
