In this episode, I am in conversation with political scientist
Aysem Mert to discuss the work of philosopher Ivan Illich. He
offers radical criticism on institutions and demonstrates that
modern systems—such as education and healthcare,
designed to help people could end up having the opposite effect
if they are based on growth.

Over the first weekend of September 2026, local gatherings around
dinner tables, picnic blankets and other convivial spaces across
the world will mark what would have been the 100th birthday of
Ivan Illich, the philosopher of the sacred and the convivial. Two
decades after his death, his ideas about conviviality, autonomy
and counterproductivity are returning to the centre of
intellectual conversation.
