"We need a new story around equality, something beyond Margaret Thatcher and Karl Marx that bonds together the very lucky and less lucky."

"And it's part of a cultural evolution of how do we be more inclusive of different ways of being. Of course, there's race and gender, sexual orientation, but also nationality. We're a company now that's about one third US. Customers, two third not in the US. And we're trying to build up our management team outside of the US. In the same way we're hiring and developing our leaders of color. Of our top 20 people, we're half men, half women. So it took us a while to get there, but we've got there. Now we're 25% leaders of color."

"Yeah, I mean, inequality is growing, but it's just a policy choice. If the people and the government wanted to do sufficient taxation and then have free public health care, free public universities, then you'd see a more equal society. And America, relatively uniquely in the world, has always had the tradition of very high on freedom and less on equality, whereas our European colleagues have much more equal societies."

"But I really hope that you focus on one area in particular climate change. A lot of conversation around climate change is around reducing emissions from the rich world, which is something we need to do to buy us more time."

"For several centuries, it was very profitable for white society to evangelize the story that black people were subhuman and therefore could be enslaved Nazism."
