Ecological economics is the study of economics where remaining within the constraints of the biosphere is central to the analytical frameworks. Many of our disagreements with neoclassical economics stem from differences in the way we interpret and model our interactions with the environment. Ecological economics views us as part of the biosphere, with some branches of ecological economics really pushing back on instrumental and anthropocentric conceptions of nature and emphasising the deep connections and evolutionary history of humans' relationship with nature. So in this episode we’ll be unpacking the science of how people’s relationship with nature affects their wellbeing with Jessica C. Fisher. Hosted by Sophus zu Ermgassen. Edited by Aidan Knox.
