The Wisdom Economy - Part 2 of 3: The Coming Wisdom Crisis
As societies age and technology accelerates, a hidden challenge is emerging beyond healthcare, pensions, and workforce shortages. The Wisdom Economy – Part 2: The Coming Wisdom Crisis explores how the loss of wisdom, tacit knowledge, mentorship, institutional memory, and intergenerational learning may threaten societal resilience and continuity. Drawing on research from the WHO, UN Decade of Healthy Ageing, OECD, WEF, and leading wisdom scholars, this article examines the growing disconnect between information and wisdom in modern societies and introduces the Wisdom Crisis Framework as a new lens for understanding one of the most overlooked risks of the twenty-first century.
