Nothing in nature grows forever, except a cancer.

Steven Hail is an economist and lecturer at Modern Money Lab, a Charity offering a global online masters degree in the economics of Sustainability.

Today's society is all about more money, more stuff, more spending. Steven explains why this isn't a sustainable approach to life on this planet.

Hale advocates for a shift towards measuring well-being rather than focusing solely on economic growth.

He also introduces the concept of donut economics, which aims to balance human needs with environmental sustainability.
