Said host Raya Salter, attorney and author of ‘Energy Justice’, “The Earth simply cannot continue to absorb the externalities of growth economics; ecological economics instead prioritizes people, nature and planet.” NeoClassical growth economics, and its assumption that the Earth will always absorb waste and pollution on an ever growing scale has led the world to climate crisis and the brink of collapse. Ecological economics offers alternatives that focus on the preservation of natural capital, sustainability and well-being.
