As part of the consideration of Economics & Investment within the 5KL initiative, Tim Jackson will speak about the shifting paths for achieving prosperity in our lives. While economic growth was once essential in reaching our current level of development, perhaps continued growth not only sees diminishing returns, but also detracts from our present happiness and future prosperity. In a world with finite ecological limits, how do we make what we need, get it to the people who need it, and nurture what we already have? A conversation with New York Times journalist Eduardo Porter will follow Jackson’s talk. http://archleague.org/2014/04/prosperity-for-a-finite-planet/
