Description

As our podcast title suggests we believe mainstream economics has become much more of a hindrance to our world than the engine of progress whatever progress may mean. Today’s guest is Simon Mair and we will talk about what has gone totally pear-shaped with economic thinking and why it is time to rebel.

The world is on fire. We have to radically and rapidly transform every aspect of society to stay within 1.5 degrees of global warming. How is this possible? And how do we do this in a way that is fair? Ecological economists integrating ecological and critical social perspectives have long been working on ideas to bring about just sustainability transformations. This podcast aims at communicating these ideas in order to open them to critical discussion, from global problems to people’s everyday lives.
