On this weeks episode of Integrate This! Robert Conan Ryan joins me for a discussion of Integral Economics. Robert holds a PhD in Business Administration, University of Pittsburgh with emphasis on strategic management, business ethics, and organizational learning and human cognition. He has been engaged in the online integral community for several years and adds his extensive wealth of knowledge in economics to his integral level worldview to provide us with an in-depth look at what integral economics might look like in the coming decades.
