Let's open up the black box of capitalism. I discussed what it means & what it does with @BernieSanders and @martinwolf_ on @BBCR4 last week. Here's how I defined it - how would you put it differently? 1/n

My 13 year old son - an avid reader - just walked into my study and looked at my bookshelves. "Mum", he said, "I want to read a book about economics". Now there's a moment...where to begin? Because where we begin shapes where we go...

First, the problem: in mainstream economics, destruction of the living world is treated as an 'environmental externality'. As Daly wrote, ”we classify things as ‘external costs’ for no better reason than because we have made no provision for them in our economic theories”.

So many debates about the future of ‘capitalism’ don’t even define what it means, treating the concept as a black box that's never unpacked. But ‘capitalism’ clearly means different things to different people. It’s time to lift the lid. So what do you expect to find in this box?

This is fascinating. Instead of GDP targets, China is focusing on jobs and living standards. Is it a momentary hiatus, or a flicker between paradigms? Are we seeing the beginning of the end of the obsession with endless growth? See thread...

When the @DailyMailUK reports that humanity is tracking the projections of the 1972 Limits to Growth report - and notes that pursuing endless economic growth looks near impossible - then you know something is shifting in the world.... h/t @PlanB_earth

MIT's 1972 prediction of society collapsing could happen by 2040

A researcher tested MIT's 1972 prediction that we could see a societal collapse by 2040 and found we are currently on the path of destruction, but we could change it in a decade.

I’m shocked and devastated to hear that the brilliant climate scientist Will Steffen has died. I am deeply grateful to him for so many things - so here is a thread of 5 thank yous (and please feel welcome to add more).

@sarahkbingler Dear Sarah's son. Geography helps to reconnect humanity with the life-supporting systems of this delicately balanced living planet, and that's a connection on which all of our futures depend. Here's to your studies, and to the difference you can make with what you learn.

Climate breakdown is repeatedly happening more rapidly, more dramatically than scientists' models had forecast. In response, nations' net-zero carbon-emission commitments must be set for dramatically sooner than 2050.
