For all that we talk about ESG and purposeful business, how many corporates and policymakers question the system on which its built - growth and GDP. Tom Foster is doing exceptional work to help us better understand alternate economic models, bring to life concepts of post-growth and Doughnut economics.

In this era of polycrises where we have exploited our planetary boundaries, we need a reframe. Our conversation brings exactly that:

• The limits to growth and influence of the economic profession
• Importance of planetary boundaries to create a 'Goldilocks' economy
• Interpreting polycrises
• Incorporating post-growth concepts in redefining productivity

It's no secret the dominant neoliberalism thinking is failing to meet humanity's needs. Tom's insights highlight the need for us to mobilise to a system which values scale, distribution and allocation while considering the well-being of people and our planet.

Hope that you find the episode insightful.
