Helping us consider the pros and cons of this new world we are entering, we are joined today by the acclaimed social scientist and economist, Garry Jacobs. Over the course of this fascinating conversation we will also speak of eastern and western perspectives on the individual’s role in the world (Garry resides in India), and an exploration of the concept of “pure thinking”.

American social scientist, educator, and international management consultant who travelled to India in 1971 in search of spiritual enlightenment and has spent about 40 years there studying the Integral Philosophy and Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.

His research, consulting work and publications focus on the need for integrated, transdisciplinary, human-centered and value-based theories and strategies to promote peace, employment, social equality, sustainable development and personal growth in the fields of business, economy, education, governance, international security and psychology.

As Director of Social Science Research at The Mother’s Service Society (India), he heads a research team applying Sri Aurobindo’s social evolutionary thought in Management, Economics, Education, Global Governance, Social Development, Psychology, Literary Criticism and other fields.
