Coming up this Thursday morning on Central Vermont Community Radio — An economist blames his profession for creating an illusion of progress that blocks actual progress, and people on the street talk about the local economy.
9:00 - 10:00 am
Economists and their enablers in the media and politics have duped the public into accepting poverty and pollution as unfortunate but inevitable byproducts of a successful economy. But we can we get past the illusion to design an economy that is socially just and ecologically balanced. UVM ecological economist Jon Erickson will discuss the arguments he lays out in his new book, The Progress Illusion: Reclaiming Our Future from the Fairytale of Economics.
