Trying to argue that we need to reduce our omissions is like arguing with a forest fire. I just think it's feasible to work at the international level until we realize how serious this threat is. And if it happens in the u k or the us, doesn't it have to be accepted by a large number of nations to actually be effective or hat?
On this episode, we meet with Economist, Author, and Research Fellow at the Institute for Strategy, Resilience, and Security at University College in London, Steve Keen.
Keen discusses how mainstream economics misses the centrality of energy to our economy and to our futures, the naive treatment to the risks of money and debt creation, and the disconnect economic theory has to climate change risks.
