Kim Stanley Robinson - Rethinking Our Relationship to the Biosphere | Bioneers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лис 2015
- The coming century requires that we rethink and restructure our relationship with our planet to avoid endangering the integrity of the biosphere and risking the end of human civilization. This means reforming our economic system, which uses a market and trade system that systemically under-prices and degrades both people and the natural world. How can we change that, and what would it
look like if we did? One of the great visionary science fiction writers of our era will draw from his decades of work and thinking on this question to sketch a utopian but deeply informed and cogent scenario of a new economy for the coming decades. Introduction by J. P. Harpignies, National Bioneers Conference Associate Producer.
This speech was given at the 2015 Bioneers Annual Conference.
Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.
To experience talks like this, please join us at the Bioneers National Conference each October, and regional Bioneers Resilient Community Network gatherings held nationwide throughout the year.

This is one of the greatest speeches of the early 21st century. Mr. Robinson expresses to the nth degree why I am supporting Bernie Sanders for President in 2016.

Ground zero for economics is money. Money is the foundation of economics. Specialization, Exchange, interdependance are basic to all life...money provides a tool to fascilitate this process in mass and in an intensified way. And just as a chain of command will beat a democracy any day so will an exchange economy beat a command economy. Using marxist analysis isnt going to lead us well. We love the diversity and creativity created by exchange. But its the rigging of the monetary factor which makes what could work well into a nightmare casino of number manipulations. Monetary reform not marxism is the first step to a more sane economy.
Utopia = "No Place" from the Greek word.
