Podcast: The Ecological Economics of Justice
The ecological crisis is fundamentally a crisis in our way of thinking. In the podcast The Ecology of Ideas, CBS lecturer Attila Márton explores how new perspectives can promote ecological thinking. This episode shows how our economic mindset shapes values, and how ecology and justice point to new paths forward.
If you had to choose between being rich or being well, chances are you would choose your own well-being. And yet, we live in a world shaped by an economic system that prioritises wealth over wellness.
In this episode, Attila Márton is joined by Inge Røpke, professor of ecological economics at Aalborg University in Denmark. Inge invites us to reflect on the limits of conventional economic thinking, and how it shapes the way we understand value and progress. She makes the case for placing justice and ecological awareness at the heart of a more thoughtful and inclusive approach to economics that encourages us to look beyond numbers and toward the kind of society we actually want to live in.
This episode is part of the Ecology of Ideas podcast.
