Good podcast interview on economics and degrowth with Tim Parrique.
Host is Babak Behrad, a Dane or maybe from Sweden.
The first 20 minutes is about normal economics and the one-dimensionality of their world view: money.
How GDP was invented 1930 as tool in a crisis to measure whether applied policies to overcome the crisis were working or not.
And how GDP, this crisis tool, is used today in everyday politics:
the LA fires are good for GDP because fire fighters drive their fire engines which require fuel and repairs, then the rebuilding of course – and I guess, funerals – all is good for GDP in #LAfires in the one-dimensional philosophy of economics.
After 20minutes, the real topic begins: #Degrowth
Also have the impression that Parrique's English pronunciation is now far easier to follow for me as non-native English listener than it used to be 2-3 years ago. https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/timoth%C3%A9e-parrique-reimagine-economics-for-ecological/id1672060019?i=1000642487956
