What if austerity isn’t economic necessity—but political strategy?

Meet Clara E. Mattei — economist, professor, and author of Escape from Capitalism and The Capital Order.

Clara exposes how policies we’re told are “responsible”—like austerity—are actually tools to preserve the status quo. Her work invites us to question the economic narratives we’ve been sold for decades.

Understand the politics behind the policies—and why they matter more than ever with Clara E. Mattei in Athens.

The Greeks had at least seven words for love.
Business usually has one: “synergy.”

We thought we could do better.

So we wrote love letters — in business terms. For co-founders. Co-conspirators. Long-term collaborators. And the occasional obsession.

Share your favorite, tag your business lover.
You know the one.

And whenever you’re ready to take the relationship offline—Athens. May 7–10. Let’s stop texting and meet already ;)

The danger isn’t that autocracy has good branding.
The danger is that we already think in branding terms.

Because we’ve been trained to. We build personal brands, protect employer brands, and align with corporate brands. We learn how to manage perception, stay “on brand.” We curate what we share, what we question, and what we criticize—always with an eye on the golden goose: reputation.

Over time, we internalize the logic. We are no longer just people with opinions; we become representatives. And once we see ourselves as a brand, we curate what we show to the world to stay aligned and consistent with the image we’ve carefully crafted. We weigh truth against consequence.

Silence begins to look like professionalism.

All of this is strategic. But when that habit drips down into public life, it makes dissent harder to practice. And what disappears first is not freedom, but friction.

The “Autocracy” brand doesn’t need to force its way in, it enters a culture already conditioned to value control, message discipline, and unity over disagreement.

By the time we recognize what’s happening, the ground has already shifted.

In our latest , Shannon Mullen O’Keefe traces that drift—from branding culture to political culture—and asks what it’s doing to our voices.

We are trained to lead in a world that no longer exists.

Information is abundant. Decisions are accelerated. AI amplifies speed, scale, and pressure — while judgment, attention, agency, and orientation quietly erode.

Most leaders don’t lack knowledge.

They increasingly need to train their discernment, integration, and their ability to decide well in times of instability.

For ten years, the House of Beautiful Business has worked inside this gap — convening leaders at moments of transition, experimenting with formats that privilege depth over performance, and treating leadership not as a role, but as a capacity exercised in real time.

The Beautiful Business School is a distillation of that work.
Over seven weeks, you engage in a guided, practice-based journey that weaves together individual inquiry, shared reflection, and collective sense-making.

We start this Thursday, will you join us?

Another Davos post—just what you’ve been waiting for. 😊

In this week’s , our co-founder , however, offers a different take on Mark Carney’s much-lauded speech.

The liberal order may indeed be dead, Tim writes and agrees that “The infrastructure of our politics—our operating system—yes, that needs a rebuild.”

But he argues that the values which shaped “the best of human civilization—the miracle of coordinating billions of lives in hostile environments and allowing many of them to flourish; the capacity to create beauty, to feel awe and wonder; to love and be loved; to form friendships; to show solidarity and kinship; to insist on civility, dignity, or at least decency—these values still hold.”

“They are humanistic because they are deeply human.”

Which is exactly why we shouldn’t dismiss nostalgia so quickly.

“As we shape a post-rupture future, nostalgia is not denial or retreat. It is a compass. A shared faith. A starting point we can always return to: our economy, our common household, our home.”
