Ecological economics is about finding ways to transform our societies to move onto an environmentally and socially sustainable path. Many of the criticisms ecological economists express and the solutions they advocate can be rooted back to Karl Polanyi whose book The Great Transformation provided a well-argued case against mainstream economics already in the 1940s.  Today’s guests are Pedar Kirby and Logan Strenchock and we will talk about using Polányi’s insights for a sustainability transition.
