Fuzzy Logic Science Show

Traditional economics treats our planet as an infinitely exploitable resource. Clearly that is impossible and already there are disturbing signs of a planet in distress. But even if we ignore that, is endless growth really good for us? Where does it end? When we talk briefly about MMT (Modern Monetary Theory), we refer to 'monetary sovereign' nations - for a definitionn, see Wikipedia.   Associate Professor Philip Lawn is a Research Scholar at the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity, a Senior Research Fellow with the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (University of Newcastle) and Visitor at the School of Economics (University of Adelaide). Interview by Rod as part of the series with authors in our book Sustainability and the New Economics.
