FET #13: Degrowth, decoupling, and how to get good environmental outcomes

from Fresh Economic Thinking · host Cameron Murray

Is economic growth possible in a finite world?It’s a big question. In this episode, we discuss whether economic growth must come with more resource use, whether that is good or bad, whether degrowth is possible, and practical ways that societies get good environmental outcomes. Also, learn how Cameron has changed his views on this after a decade of research and why he now has an optimistic view about our environmental future.Follow Cameron and Jonathan on Twitter.Theme music: Happy Swing by Serge Quadrado Music under Creative Commons Licence CC BY-NC 4.0Please leave a comment with your ideas for future podcast conversations and Substack posts.Thanks for reading Fresh Economic Thinking!

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
