ABOUT THIS ISSUE
Capitalism Today
Governance, Capitalism & Our Social Contract
Capitalism Today's Q3 2026 issue, its third edition, is built around "The Collision Era," Skytop Media Group's term for a business environment in which disruption no longer arrives as a single shock but as a compound event that accelerates risk, compresses decision time, and reshapes strategy. The publication's central argument is that geopolitics, extreme weather, emerging technologies, social movements, and policy volatility now reinforce one another rather than act independently. When these forces collide, they can also produce "convergence," Skytop's word for the innovation that emerges from those collisions. The issue organizes this thesis into ten convergence themes, including the technology-geopolitics collision, fragmented supply chains, shifting investor values and activism, capital flow volatility, culture wars and brand risk, corporate sovereignty versus state power, workforce automation, and regulatory fragmentation. Each theme is tied to one or more of Skytop's six core practice areas. The magazine is aimed at executives, board members, and institutional investors, and asset allocators, promising them the clarity and foresight to anticipate second-order effects and build resilient, "antifragile" organizations.

ABOUT THIS ISSUE
Capitalism Today
Governance, Capitalism & Our Social Contract
Global experts confront the erosion of trust in institutions—from central banks and democratic media to corporate governance and labor systems—amid rising economic and environmental instability. Voices like Hans Hoogervorst, Arthur Kohn, and Admiral Michael Franken spotlight how financial policy, legal reform, and extreme weather are reshaping national security and public accountability. Through candid conversations with changemakers like Osvald Bjelland, Lord John Browne, Robert Thurman, and Prince Turki Al Faisal, the issue explores the intersection of global leadership, justice movements, and geopolitical transformation.
