What if the economy wasn’t built on perpetual growth? What if we reimagined our systems of finance, production, and exchange to serve society within planetary boundaries?
Join us for a provocative and forward-looking talk with Professor Molly Scott Cato, one of the UK’s leading green economists, as we explore alternatives to mainstream economic thinking. Drawing on her wide-ranging academic research and political experience, Molly will offer both a critique of the dominant growth paradigm and an exploration of viable alternatives rooted in sustainability and justice.
