Why we need to adopt a Care Economy | C40 Cities podcast
Capitalism is an illness: it’s killing our planet, and by extension, us. Economic instability and environmental concerns are symptoms that can only be cured by redefining prosperity in terms of health and wellbeing, so that we can create sustainable, equitable societies. Tim Jackson joins Cities 1.5 to discuss his new book The Care Economy, arguing that redefining prosperity around care—not growth—offers a path to heal our economy, our healthcare systems, and the planet itself.
