Welcome to the latest Taxcast You can find us on your podcast app (or via links online below)
In this episode, Naomi Fowler explores degrowth and how we liberate ourselves from ‘growthism’ with economic anthropologist Jason Hickel. (I'll release the full converation with Jason soon as a Taxcast Extra, the full conversation is too good to miss!)
Plus: there can be no liberation without tackling monopoly power, or the role of finance sectors and States, investing in death and destruction across the world.
Guests:
“We should seek to organise the economy around meeting human needs rather than around servicing elite consumption and capital accumulation. And that requires a pretty dramatic shift from sort of the status quo of our economic system.”
~ Jason Hickel
"There’s no way we can build local resilience and sustainable economies when faced with monopoly players who can dominate markets and use their financial power to over-ride democracy through their lobbying.”
~ John Christensen
