Feasta on Energy and Money
By Donal on Sat, 12/04/2010 - 12:27pm | World AffairsThe Post Carbon Institute posts this series of videos of a talk by Richard Douthwaite, co-founder of Feasta, an Irish think tank concerned with sustainable economics. He was speaking by phone and video to a group in Michigan, about a month before last year's Copenhagen Summit climate talks, so it is like watching Max Headroom do a slide show. The first four videos are about the problem, the last two are Feasta's proposal for a cap and share system and debt-free currency to keep the poorer folk going. Needless to say, nothing like those ideas have happened. København seems to have been symbolic, the rich are growing richer and the poor are struggling.
