Why do professionals hate change?

Why do accountants, economists, lawyers, medics, politicians and civil servants all resist the very changes the world needs?

In this video, I explain why top-tier professionals cling to failing systems, defend obsolete ideas, and punish those who challenge accepted wisdom. From currency debates to medical hierarchies, the professions close ranks to protect their status, not the public.

This is about fear, conformity, institutional culture—and the cost we all pay for it.

Real reform requires unreasonable people willing to defy failing norms. Until courage replaces compliance, nothing will change.
