Slow Throughput Welcome, everyone, to the latest edition of my Radio Tipping Point podcast, titled Slow Throughput. 🎙️

We're all swimming in this soup of #circulareconomy talk 🔄 Butterflies 🦋 fluttering, resources looping, all very tidy. But, as usual, they've left out the most glaringly obvious thing: the economy.💰

Neoliberalism: the idea that swallowed the world The long read: The word has become a rhetorical weapon, but it properly names the reigning ideology of our era – one that venerates the logic of the market and strips away the things that make us huma...

This is the problem with #growth as a political objective in #UKPolitics We have done our growing over 200 years. We now need to spread the results of that growth fairly. We have no further room to grow. Countries in the global south need to grow and we need to implement a #SteadyStateEconomy […]

The Big Growth Lie: Herman Daly and a Vision for a Steady Future When we think of economic growth, it's often assumed that more is always better. But for Herman Daly, one of the founding voices in ecological economics, this growth mindset is fundamentally flawed.

Herman Daly challenges the growth-at-all-costs mindset with his vision for a steady, sustainable future. 🌍📉 The Big Growth Lie reveals the need for an economy that prioritizes well-being over endless expansion. #Sustainability #HermanDaly #SteadyStateEconomy
