The podcast "Outrage and Optimism" is most certainly worth a listen.

The prevailing economic system is at the root of the world's climate difficulties as it celebrates individualism and in many instances is devoid of ethics and it was just today that I stumbled upon a webinar organized by the Friedberg Economics Institute.

The webinar wasn't about the climate crisis, but Professor Guy Standing, a prolific author from the University of London, discussed the Universal Basic Income (UBI), and it is a process that counters the damaging existing economics.
