Governing in silos
from Think Again Hosted by Jacques and Jennifer
This episode looks at the fragmented and uncoordianted way in which we are governed and how our lives are organised. The consequences for our personal and social wellbeing and for the health of the planet are serious. In particular, consumerism as a solution to bolster a flagging economy is in direct contravention of what is needed for environmental sustainability. The episode ends with information about movements and strategies to foster a healthy environment, community and economy holistically.Patel, R.
