Tim Jackson - Post Growth - Life after Capitalism | #060

Just Another Mindset Podcast

In this episode, we talk about (De)Growth and a just society. Tim has talked about prosperity without growth for decades and we elaborate how this discussion has changed. You will learn about what a life worth living can look like and we take a look at examples from different cultures and countries. We talk about diversity, wellbeing, and a life after capitalism. We discuss reductionism, work, labour and you will learn about planned obsolescence. You will hear about how a transition towards a more fair and just society can look like and what first steps towards it can be. We finish today on a discussion about hope, action and human potential.
Make sure to let me know your thoughts and join the conversation.
