Going Steady with Herman Daly: ‘¡No pasarán’/ É Proibido Proibir’

from Cities 1.5 · host University of Toronto Press

We follow Herman Daly into one of the last places you’d expect to find a rebel economist: the World Bank. We will hear how the academic work of Herman’s sister, Denis Daly Heyck, impacted on his worldview. We’ll also see how this fused with Herman’s own experiences teaching in Brazil, and the building of pan-American ecological and human rights movements to fuel him to advocate for policy and philosophical changes at the Bank - culminating in his famous farewell speech. Featured in this episode:Karen Daly Junker & Terri Daly Stewart, Herman and Marcia’s daughtersJon Sward, Environment Project Manager at the Bretton Woods ProjectDenis Daly Heyck (Deni), Professor Emeritus of Spanish language & literatureDavid Batker, Ecological economistJohn Redwood, Former World Bank employeeRobert Costanza, Ecological economistClóvis Cavalcanti, Ecological economistPeter May, Ecological economistKate Raworth, DEAL co-founderJoshua Farley, Ecological economistXiye Bastida, Climate justice activistThank you to the Daly family for their generous support in sharing Herman’s story. Thanks also to: C40's Barbara Barros for voicing Marcia Daly’s email in this episode; Denis Daly Heyck for providing the images for our episode art; and to Nate Hagens and the team behind The Great Simplification podcast for granting us permission to use a clip from their show.Thank you also to our series consultants and fact checkers, Peter Harnik, Rob Dietz, and Peter Victor, who also graciously supplied the interview tape with Herman Daly, recorded in 2022.Media citations by order of appearance:(That'll Work) (Live), Chuck BrownThe Heritage Foundation - “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”The Great Simplification: “Toward an Ecological Economics”If you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeriesCities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.
