Big Questions, Sharp Answers

No less than this question: how prosperous is the Netherlands really? In Prosperity, the Broad Podcast, ESB hosts Maartje Schulz, Jasper Lukkezen, and Marcel Canoy talk with economists, policymakers, and politicians about broad prosperity—beyond GDP. Tune in for sharp analyses on inequality, climate, equal opportunity, and more. Because only when we know what we’re measuring can we steer toward what truly matters. An essential podcast for anyone who looks beyond economic growth alone.

Why does innovation so often fail—especially within large companies that need it the most? In Corporate Jamming, Ewout Karel reveals how organisations trap themselves in a web of rules, KPIs, and hierarchy—and how things can be different. Drawing on his own experience as an innovation manager at T-Mobile, he advocates for a freer way of working together, like musicians do: jamming. An inspiring book for anyone who believes that true innovation begins with breaking down walls.
