- There is an alternative. "We are the generation that realizes we are a 'Planetary Household'. So any self-respecting 21st century economist has to start with the 'Planetary Household' and economics, to start with, understands how this 'Planetary Household' thrives..." , Kate Raworth.
Co-founder of Extinction Rebellion Dr Gail Bradbrook in conversation with the radical economist and author of Doughnut Economics, Kate Raworth, and Professor of Politics and expert on citizens’ assemblies at Westminster University, Graham Smith.

This was a very interesting discussion about democracy, and economics. Thank you for putting this video on You Tube.
Time to change.
We need to protect our children and their future.
YES! This discussion is truly vast
I'm seeing folks break the rusty cage of brainwash...So many righteous dreams are just bursting through the seams
and So much Brainwash! Schools, Religion, Media, Money, Government, Business...Its a Wonder anyone can even formulate a Unique Thought! A pervasive Matrix of suggestions from the time we are born
So glad you did this video. Important topic. We can identify a better way.
Dank jullie!
Thank you all three of you.
This is a great discussion. Thank you 🙏
Clever real intelligent people speaking respectfully with each other on subject matter/content that is the only issue: i.e. Abrupt Climate Change - Well done girls/guy Emmett the Rebellious Koala
yes warms my hart keep it up big hug to you all
“Mate selection” amongst primates offers challenges omitted/ignored with the assertion that we are “collaborative and not competitive”.
A few questions; If we have a government based on drawing lots, who hands out the lots and how is that system safeguarded and kept honest? How much power would a randomly chosen 'leader' have? would a new leader be chosen from a self selected group of people who want to rule the Country or is actually ANY citizen a posibility? What if we randomly select a leader who has no clue what they are doing, or no interest in leading? Who makes all those decisions? would you propose that Extinction Rebellion is the one who should decide ?
We need a transformation of consciousness. As long as there is belief in the self as absolute and no transcendence to the ground of being beyond division, we will always place ourselves ahead of the other. This self-centered perspective (selfishness), is the root cause of greed, wars, and environmental destruction. So without a consciousness transformation, a spiritual revolution, no real change is possible.
They should have mentioned Medieval .Europe. There are So many parallels with todays world.: First realisation of societal impacts on the environment, Clean air act 14th century etc.
Medieval Europe too was overpopulated, often a lack of available land and depleting soils.
And rents were high , wages low, and the climate was changing too etc etc. Then the Bubonic plague came and a third of the population gone. . When dust settled the inequality gap shrank wages quadrupled. . Yea over population is the biggest problem because it negates any progressive societal developments or changes in the Global South and North
We need to embrace the sharing economy, and grow out of these childish desires to show off to our peers about what great shiney new stuff we have, and what a great holiday we had.
We need to make reuse more respectable.
We need the businesses of the 21st century to develop techniques that make it more efficient to recycle or repurpose the mountains of old electronics instead of mining minerals and burning fossil fuel to create new stuff.
We need artists to tap into the aesthetic values of the population at large and make these new ways of living more appealing.
We need a carbon tax to make the old ways of living less appealing, and to pay for investment in green energy and environmental initiatives.
This is the juicy conversation
Couple of people commenting here who obviously don't understand what's actually being talked about.
Nice one guys, we need to re-evaluate our system and improve it so everyone (not just the few) benefit.

Barter and LETS systems need to be given more airspace as an alternative economy
Not vegan? Not serious
The study, published in the journal Science, created a huge dataset
based on almost 40,000 farms in 119 countries and covering 40 food
products that represent 90% of all that is eaten. It assessed the full
impact of these foods, from farm to fork, on land use, climate change
emissions, freshwater use and water pollution (eutrophication) and air
pollution (acidification).
“A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact
on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification,
eutrophication, land use and water use,” said Joseph Poore, at the
University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. “It is far bigger than
cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car,” he said, as
these only cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The new research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global
farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% - an area equivalent to
the US, China, European Union and Australia combined - and still feed
the world. Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the
current mass extinction of wildlife.
Does anyone know where I can watch this film "15 ways to fake a democracy"?
Yes.Nature is the Bottomline
interesting convo xx
Until you define public utility, you will lose. We built all of those buildings. Those buildings should grow food rather than debt. No more public utility in private hands.
This has to be the battle of the lazy. People who are lazy, love this system because they don’t do anything and yet, they have all the money.
Gross domestic happiness.
Perhaps we can find another word for Gross
If Mahatma Gandhi can do it to the British Government, then so can the British People.
Who says the government is not telling the truth. In July this year the parliamentary select committee for climate change said. “The Adaptation and Mitigation Committees have reviewed the UK Government’s approach to climate change adaptation and emissions reduction. Our reports are published in parallel, as required under the Climate Change Act. We find a substantial gap between current plans and future requirements and an even greater shortfall in action.”
That seems like an honest assessment, isn’t it.
A parliamentary select committee is not the Government.
That's an honest assessment as far as it goes.
The problem is that it is not being translated into action. That leads us to wonder about the sincerity of the declarations of climate emergency.
RBE - Resource based economy
Disappointing. Please have an actual discussion on possible economic models. It seems the only long term way out is to change how money is created and implement a variant of the Chicago plan. Otherwise infinity growth is a necessity.
"Whats the purpose of the economy"? It appears its to ensure some people will have and be able to maintain extreme wealth and with these claims to be able to control and direct vast numbers of humans.
money is obsolete, money got us here
Young people historically have a poor voting record. They just don't show up to VOTE.
It would be great it these Climate Organizations also encouraged people to register and VOTE for Climate Leaders in their community, state, country. People need to be elected that will take Climate Action. This energy needs to be turned into VOTING ACTION to create the change we want to see..
fuck the government. useless wankers the lot of em
Where is your army , the Greeks had one !

Climate struggle is one front in class struggle. You’d do well to bring class politics into it.
cool
Deeds not words. The irony 😊
Hope she factored in the Policing cost and complete disruption to peoples' lives and commercial businesses into this economic talk?
XOX
Deeds not words!
This is just a vague wish list. How are you going to _do_ economics _first_ when you have no idea what you're doing in the first place?
_Oh, let's just do stuff and make a theory about it later!_ - Completely rudderless and clueless
_We need to move in the direction of togetherness_ - empty bullshit.
Have these people never heard of Walter Cannon, or Jacque Fresco? There are enough ideas to formulate an economic direction, at the very least.
Extinction Rebellion - _We'll just work it out as we go along. It'll be okay._
So what part of climate change were u talking about. This was not about climate it's just politics. There was the part that u said, we dont have any answers, u wont to try new things that may or may not work. Sounds like the system we have now.
The politics and economy of the last 40 years have been unable to respond to the climate situation, which has been known for at least that long. That's the connection. The current systems been unable to even slow the year-over-year INCREASE in greenhouse gasses. The increase was +1.6% in 2017 and +2.7% in 2018. To address what has now become a climate crisis, we need to change "business as usual" in a major way, at a scale that matches the problem. Which is to say, we need to think out of the box and change our current politics and economic system at lightning speed. Think of this as a war-like emergency.
"Modern democracy is basically fascism , so just do as i say" i care about climate change which is why i need to tell you all to grow up.
@@blahdelablah 9:43 is the point where we are being told we are on the verge of fascism, a word that is losing power with most people faster than racist, would you need an explanation why, you should read Jordan Peterson, or at least a brief summation of world history as it relates to fascism.
@@blahdelablah Welcome Mr straw-man, actually i would advocate for growing algae and crickets on a personal level. grains and alike should be allocated to the sick/old/young/poor by a technologically invigilated state but we all know democracy brings out the best in people.
@@blahdelablah Not by having a rave in the middle of the piccadilly circus, i literally could give you a hundred real ways to help, i spent 12 years in developing countries trying to do my part, for four years i have driven an electric unicycle which keeps me fit (reducing NHS costs while requiring little in terms of high calorie food (meat). How about helping people in Cambodia to grow there traditional medicine (cannabis) and export it to the west, reducing the massive electricity consumption caused by clandestine hydroponic operations that are bound to increase as people move away from alcohol. invest in better lithium battery tech, so extinction rebels can stop using diesel generators.....need more?
@@blahdelablah you must have data to support your assertions, just point me to your sources, do you know about global dimming? do you understand that we have blocked the suns radiation for so long that we don't even know what will happen if we suddenly stop, your so desperate for "drastic" measures to be taken against others when the hard reality is that millions more will die, the only option is to push forward, not back, to surge humanities progress to a point we can better influence environmental changes and save the rest from death.
@@blahdelablah because radical political changes are (in my estimimation) the greatest danger to the worlds poor, i wouldn't be so concerned about this potential outcome if i had not been proven correct around 90% of the time regarding current political, social and technological trends of the past two decades, if you want to change peoples priorities you need to encourage access to Psilocybin unless you intend to put the masses through university yourself?
All noise no substance
Mark citizens assembly is substance, lots and rotation is substance, increasing economic and democratic literacy is substance
who caused the other five ?
Ruth Allen pre human forces. They progressed much more slowly and life had time to adapt.
If economists really knew anything about creating wealth instead of spending it they would be well rich instead of being well paid. I've no time for them. My accountant is a personal friend and his job is to deal with my tax burden and not to run my businesses for me.
Planetary household..... in lefist Londonistan. WIRDOOOO. It sounds like an echo from acid-pacifist from 60'. Most funny nation in-country size like nail :-)
Oh look, Rip Van Winkle stirred and opened one eye for a split second. Zzzzzzzzzzz.
