A fascinating forum on that stuff that makes the world go around
Speaker Dr Philip Lawn.
Senior Lecturer in Ecological Economics,
Flinders University. South Australia.
Dr Lawn’s presentation will aim to demonstrate why 'growth' is making us worse off, apart from destroying the planet, and why the transition to a steady-state economy is necessary to achieve sustainable development.
Included in the discussion are:
(a) the role and limitations of markets;
(b) policies to facilitate the transition to a steady-state economy; &
(c) the debunking of a number of pro-growth arguments.

“Doctor, there’s a growth in my economy!”
