S8 EP2: Post-Growth - Where to from here?

For all that we talk about ESG and purposeful business, how many corporates and policymakers question the system on which its built - growth and GDP. Tom Foster is doing exceptional work to help us better understand alternate economic models, bring to life concepts of post-growth and Doughnut economics. In this era of polycrises where we have exploited our planetary boundaries, we need a reframe. Our conversation brings exactly that: The limits to growth and influence of the economic professionImportance of planetary boundaries to create a 'Goldilocks' economyInterpreting polycrisesIncorporating post-growth concepts in redefining productivityIt's no secret the dominant neoliberalism thinking is failing to meet humanity's needs. Tom's insights highlight the need for us to mobilise to a system which values scale, distribution and allocation while considering the well-being of people and our planet. Hope that you find the episode insightful. ___________________________________________________________Tom's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomfoster66/Tom's Essay - The Luck of the Draw: Generational Loss and the Young’s Vanishing Future: https://findingnature.substack.com/p/taking-licks-and-rising-againBeyond green growth (YouTube video): https://www.youtube.com/live/YxJrBR0lg6s
