WILL THE END OF ECONOMIC GROWTH COME BY DESIGN — OR DISASTER?

Gaya Herrington | TEDCountdown@BloombergGreenFestival

• July 2024

What if solving poverty, caring for nature and fostering well-being were the ultimate goals of the economy, instead of growth for its own sake? Environmentalist and economist Gaya Herrington proposes a shift in thinking from “never enough” to “enough for each,” asking us to contemplate whether the end of exponential growth on a finite planet will come by design — or disaster.
