Town Brixton is hosting a one-day conference aiming to examine
in depth the economics of sustainability. We will spend
the day unpacking the economic mechanisms that drive carbon
intensive lifestyles and waste resources. Topics
of discussion will range from macro-economic overviews, the
drawbacks of our globalized economy, the nature of money,
the importance of credit, the under-acknowledge role of cheap
energy as economic driver and the causes of our unsustainable
systems, and then move into a local perspective and on to
possible action. |
