IS GREEN GROWTH A CONVENIENT LIE? – With Jason Hickel, Economic Anthropologist

How fighting inequality and beating climate change means we must
end our addiction to economic growth and fast.


We’re asking: How are inequality, climate breakdown and
growth linked? Why is green growth an impossibility? If rich
nations must stop growing, what does this mean for developing
countries?


Nadia and Max have an amazing conversation with Dr. Jason Hickel
– economic anthropologist, activist, academic and author of ‘Less
is More’ and ‘The Divide’ . Jason is a leading thinker on both
inequality and climate, and a passionate advocate of degrowth;
the idea that the pursuit of economic growth by rich nations is
destroying the planet and needs to stop, and that pursuit of
equality is vital to saving our planet.
