Economic growth version 1.0 is finished: Paul Gilding

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Paul Gilding argues that we have entered a period of global ecological crisis and economic stagnation that will lead to an economic and social transformation of significance in the history of humanity. According to Gilding, this crisis is now inevitable because the fundamental drivers are not opinion or politics but the established momentum of changes in the ecosystem. As a result our current model of economic growth is finished and a new one must be forged based on the principles of sustainability and with human relationships at its core.
