ESG: Even Samen Gevat#48 - Waarom Fantoomgroei nog steeds relevant is – van Sander Heijne en Hendrik NotenSander Heijne schreef in 2020 samen met Hendrik Noten het boek Fantoomgroei, waarvan in 2022 een update verscheen. In dat boek doen zij onderzoek naar de vraag waarom werkenden al jaren nauwelijks iets terug zien in hun portemonnee van de winsten die bedrijven maken. Zorg, onderwijs en politie zijn ondertussen uitgehold. Hoe kan dat? Waarom accepteren we dat?

In 30 minuten proberen Marloes en Aldert de essentie te vangen.
