堀江貴文氏×佐山展生氏×楠木建氏の「新春 大放談」──。
堀江貴文氏はかつて経済メディア「NewsPicks」のコメント欄でインテグラル代表の佐山展生氏と一橋大学大学院教授の楠木建氏にかみついた。その後、2016年1月に行われたNewsPicksの座談会を契機に、すっかり3人は打ち解け、定期的に情報交換をする仲に。そんな3人が今回、1年ぶりに集結し、2016年に話題になった次の8テーマを議論した。
「義務教育は必要か？」「新卒でいったん就職すべきか？」「解雇規制は緩和すべきか？」「働き方改革」「スモールIPOに意味はあるか？」「アデランスMBO」「寿命はどこまで延びるのか？」「2017年の個人的抱負」
最初は若干、硬さが見られたものの、徐々に舌も滑らかになり、年代、立場、経験のまったく異なる3人の思考がぶつかり合う。白熱する議論からは、新しい時代のあり方が浮かび上がってくる。その模様を今回、Audible限定コンテンツでお届けする。
※次回は2017/3/15配信予定
