The problem with now

Debunking Economics - the podcast - A podcast by Steve Keen & Phil Dobbie - Wednesdays

CEOs don’t care about much beyond their stock options, politicians only work to getting re-elected, consumers want instant gratification. It’s no wonder then that we’re not prepared to make compromises for long term consequences, like climate change, because the economic system we use has no way of managing our investment in the future. Is there a better way of managing the economy, in a way that ensures we look after the planet and provides for you in your old age? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
