Value pluralism - Seb O'Connor

Society and the institutions the underpin it express and operationalise specific sets of values, that then sit underneath all economic activity and colour the mental frames through which we see the world. While our culture’s prevailing values might feel immutable, in reality values have varied both dramatically over time and across cultures around the world. So, let’s talk about values – do the values that underpin contemporary capitalism actually reflect our values as people, how are those values operationalised in economic decision making, and how can we be empowered to design institutions that reflect other values? Hosted by Sophus zu Ermgassen. Edited by Aidan Knox.

The world is on fire. We have to radically and rapidly transform every aspect of society to stay within 1.5 degrees of global warming. How is this possible? And how do we do this in a way that is fair? Ecological economists integrating ecological and critical social perspectives have long been working on ideas to bring about just sustainability transformations. This podcast aims at communicating these ideas in order to open them to critical discussion, from global problems to people’s everyday lives.
