6: It’s the Economy, Stupid…But It’s Not What You Think

from Dave the Planet · host Dave Gardner for President

It’s the economy, stupid. But what’s stupid is the persistent belief that economic growth can continue forever on a finite planet. Gag-orders silenced one scientist in an attempt to bury the truth that economic growth will give us a dead planet. It’s just one more obstacle that’s prevented the needed shift from a culture of “more” to a culture of “enough.” In this episode, Brian Czech discusses his experiences at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as recounted in his new book, Gag-Ordered No More: The 800-Pound Gorilla In The U.S. Government.The conversation includes, of course, society’s obsession with economic growth, and why that is in conflict with environmental integrity.Brian Czech is founder and executive director of the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy. He also authored:Supply Shock: Economic Growth at the Crossroads and the Steady State SolutionShoveling Fuel for a Runaway Train: Errant Economists, Shameful Spenders, and a Plan to Stop them AllThe Endangered Species Act: History, Conservation, Biology, and Public Policy Host Dave Gardner is – to the best of our knowledge – the ONLY candidate running for any office in the U.S., promising to shrink the economy. This is necessary in order get out of ecological overshoot.View video of this episode at https://youtu.be/2KyM_0dr4eE?si=ymM9rgT9qr86bWAJMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economyhttps://steadystate.org/Books by Brian Czech (including Gag-Ordered No More)https://steadystate.org/membership/Sign the CASSE Position Statement Calling for a Steady State Economyhttps://steadystate.org/act/sign-the-position/More about Dave’s economy platform, including links to learn more about the unsustainability of continued economic growthhttps://davetheplanet2024.com/economyNotable Interviews with Brian Czech:The Silver Lining of Covid Induced Recession - Episode 42 of the GrowthBusters podcasthttps://www.growthbusters.org/silver-lining-covid-recession/Pulling the Rug Out From Under Our Kids - Episode 204 of the Conversation Earth radio series and podcasthttp://www.conversationearth.org/pulling-rug-kids-brian-czech-204/ Follow this podcast for a ringside seat to Dave Gardner’s adventures running for U.S. President.
