Fund manager and investment guru Jeremy Grantham has written a useful backstory to why prices of a wide variety of commodities have changed so dramatically in the last decade. He also highlights the unassailable logic that underpins the impossibility of perpetual compound growth.

Gratham’s ideas are not new, and give a useful consolidated summary of the 101 level knowledge that is part of the essential ecoliteracy that blazes a path to a more intelligent future.

Along with Seven Fools colleagues Matt Hart and Denise DeLuca (both Do 10) and Jamie Burdett, we’re seeking out the leaders who recognise that getting say 10% of their employees conversant with a post-conventional view of the future is a pre-requisite for being able to build it. To get the 10%, you need the first few. If you’re a leader with the insight and courage to investigate what radical change might look like for your organisation call the Do office, and come to play at Fforest for a day or two.
