Interview at Buddhist Economics Conference This is a transcript of the interview I gave in April during the Buddhist Economics conference. I've put it here because radical-economic-replumbing (to coin a phrase) should be (my opinion, of course) part of any comprehensive green agenda.
It's the hard bit though, we believe so firmly that economics works in only one way. My central tenet is that exchange and storage of value is merely technology but one that we have allowed to master us, in recent (well, 500 years or so) times. It's within our gift to correct it, if we should so decide.
Actually, Schumacher said it a lot better than anyone, up to now, bringing us back to a Buddhist Economics conference in a predominantly Buddhist country.
