Hike | The Benefit-Cost of Stability: Europe's Struggle to Transform

English 180

Europe misprices transformation by treating the status quo as safe while treating change as risky, thus locking capital into systems already in decline. This hike reframes stability as a costly illusion and explores how behavioural bias, cultural habits and incentives distort our decisions. Beyond this, it outlines ways of redirecting capital and engaging institutions proactively toward long-term resilience and transformation. //INFO: Wear sturdy shoes and bring drinking water.//INFO: In case of heavy rain, the session is going to take place at Volksschule.
