Jamil Mahuad situates today’s crises within a larger transformation—an “epochal change” across geography, demography, technology, and governance. He reflects on how population shifts, AI, and energy transitions are redrawing global realities. Mahuad argues that democracy’s legitimacy now depends on delivery, not elections, and that moral imagination—dreaming, committing, acting, and accepting—must guide leadership through uncertainty.
Takeaways:
• Melting Arctic routes and demographic reversals will redefine global power.
• AI and gene editing mark a new frontier for human agency and ethics.
• Democracy’s crisis is one of performance, not ideology.
• Epochal changes require reinventing political and economic rules, not just adapting.
• True resilience rests on moral purpose—knowing who we are and what we live for.
