The RegenNarration 160. Beyond Profit, Financial Returns & GDP, with Dr Katherine Trebeck
Dr Katherine Trebeck helps make sense of the state of our economy, amidst recurrent gloomy global forecasts, and stark reports about what’s really driving such drastic inflation and inequality. All that informs the back half of our chat on some recent significant global shifts towards economies that make more sense here and now, and that are inherently designed to work well for people and planet.
This includes an opportunity to get involved here in Australia, with our federal government’s current initiative, and last week’s major project launch by the Sustainable Table team. And we look at some of the stories that are really blazing the trail - beyond profit, financial returns and GDP.
Dr Katherine Trebeck is co-founder of the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance and the group of Wellbeing Economy Governments. Now back in Australia, Katherine is also a senior advisor for The Next Economy (featured in episode 134 of the podcast), and co-author of The Economics of Arrival: Ideas for a Grown Up Economy.
This conversation was recorded in Canberra on 23 April 2023.
