It is however, necessary to convince the economic-right to invest in sustainability. It shouldn't be the main argument, but to those people it probably will be.
Economics is key in a ‘circular economy’. I’ve been a proponent of a developmental macroeconomic model for sustainable productive capacity for decades. There are many in situ resources available domestically if we re-design our systems accordingly. However, I’m currently having difficulty understanding how this can done when currency differences have forced an arbitrage crippling Western economies. I’ve always been sceptical of how free market treaties have been functionally implemented.
A rich and quite interesting lecture, with range of valuable topics and issues raised to reflect and address attempts to gain in sustainability of the economy and economic development. Like pinpointing the role of 'relationships in the economy we've got', etc. It feels those issues compare to critics to a Neo-classical economic model and development with in practice emphasis put on shareholders value. It also seems to relate to favoring models, say with Anglo-Saxon model versus Rhineland model and so on. With known critics to the first and apparent growing appreciation of the latter, the Rhineland model. Feel, what exactly is 'circular' in contrast to existing 'linear' economy isn't yet to much addressed. Hope will come, along the several highly relevant topics raised. It could have been, can be interesting to link this concept of circularity to fundamental aspects of a capital approach, to Natural Capital for example en to range of concepts applied in and monitored by National Accounts, but today in conjunction and enriched with Natural Capital Accounts. That all in all aim to grow in the relation ship in growth of well-being (via either 'Beyond GDP' or 'Replacing GDP', or other dvmt) by also wisely applying of the capital approach in which the future of the different capitals and its preservation is addressed so well. Look forward. Thanks👌👍
All the evidence suggests that exponential growth is NOT necessary for happiness, achievement, and prosperity

Very well explained!
