A Growing Problem - Can We Keep Expanding The Economy?

Daniel Susskind, Professor of Economics at King’s College, London, discusses the complexities of economic growth, societal well-being, and environmental sustainability. He challenges the traditional focus on GDP, explores the concept of 'degrowth,' and emphasizes the importance of innovation and resource utilization for sustainable growth. The conversation also touches on policy interventions, trade-offs, sustainability strategies, and the interplay of economy and arms sales in the Middle East.
