This video conveys in a clear and digestible form Herman Daly's perspective on the need to transition to a Steady State Economy. He has received a very well deserved prize, as Herman's contribution to Ecological Economics is both inspiring and of great importance.
20:20 the best way to start thinking about the ultimate purpose is maximizing the cumulative number of lives ever to be lived over time who could live a good quality of life........trying to paraphrase that brilliant thought correctly. Go 2020!
The realisation that the entire political class have ignored the need for change, Horror at how ill prepared we are for any other way of life as a society... and how necessary it is to break or collapse the current economic system in the name of survival... Not easy watching, in fact overwhelming as no answers are forthcoming. All solutions would be resisted by the most powerful corporations and institutions. (which is why this speech is not on TV, in your schools or just basic knowledge) Growth economy must stop.
