Charles Eisenstein - Beyond Green Economy Conference

On May 19 the CBS Sustainability Platform in collaboration with Occupy Copenhagen and Transition Denmark hosted a one day conference centered on the work by Charles Eisenstein. Theme of the event was Eisenstein’s ideas about gift economy as presented in his major work on Sacred Economics. Other speakers at the event included: Ole Bjerg, CBS, Niels I. Meyer, DTU and author Dhanesvara Das. The diversity of the speakers attracted a very heterogeneous audience of more than 400 people ranging from CBS students, environmental activists, hara kristhna munks and socialist revolutionaries.
