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?
Professor Molly Scott Cato, one of the UK’s leading green economists, joined us for a provocative and forward-looking talk as we explored alternatives to mainstream economic thinking. Drawing on her wide-ranging academic research and political experience, Molly offered both a critique of the dominant growth paradigm and an exploration of viable alternatives rooted in sustainability and justice.
