No More Growth At Any Price, How To Build Back Better w Rob Dietz

No More Growth At Any Price, How To Build Back Better w Rob Dietz

If COVID19 has shown us anything at all, it must be that growth at any price is not an option going forward. 'Build Back Better' is an opportunity to ensure that growth is of the most productive and valuable kind to ALL members of our society, not just for the all too many CEOs who prize above all the growth of their stock price and their pay packet. This has to change. Claudia Cragg (@claudiacragg on Twitter, comments/suggestions welcome) speaks here with Rob Dietz who brings a fresh perspective to the discussion of economics and environmental sustainability and the SteadyState His diverse background in economics, environmental science and engineering, and conservation biology (plus his work in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors) has given him an unusual ability to connect the dots when it comes to the topic of sustainability. Rob is the author, with Dan O'Neill, of Enough Is Enough: Building a Sustainable Economy in a World of Finite Resources. As past editor of the Daly News, Rob is a devoted advocate for revamping the economy to fit within biophysical limits. He writes with humor, clarity, and a personal touch as he considers the complex set of institutions and activities that make up the economy. Rob continues in his attempts he says to align his personal life with the principles of a steady state economy. He lives with his wife and daughter in a co-housing community striving for development rather than growth.
