Post Growth Guide with Marcus Feldthus

Our special guest for the first full length episode of this season is Marcus Feldthus from Post Growth Guide.

Post Growth Guide is a company that is based in Denmark, where Marcus Feldthus and Oscar Haumann work within the business community to assist other organisations in transitioning to post-growth ways of operating. This is crystalised in the handbook "Setting Limits To Growth: How to make better business decisions in the 21st century" which also serves as a document of their own journey, still in progress, towards becoming a post-growth business.

PGAP has previously interviewed many guests whose focus is on system/legislative change or citizen action. This is possibly the first time that we have had a guest who is working towards change from within the business sector. This places Marcus in a unique position as a true pioneer.
