Even the Ancient Greeks had to navigate business regulations, and the roots of such ideas are discussed in one of philosophy's greatest works—Plato's Republic. Join host Ben Jackson and IPA CEO Brian Tate, as they delve into this classic text and its relevance today. In this episode, the team explores:  How The Republic can provide foundational ground rules for business conversations.  The limits of philosophy in the practical world.  Whether Plato's allegory of the cave holds insights into modern innovation and management.  This is the first installment in our 2025 Book Club series.
