A new documentary about Herman Daly, the former World Bank senior economist and father of #EcologicalEconomics, is now out! I'm one of the interviewees, together with @kateraworth.bsky.social, among others. It's a very interesting yet easy watch, check it out: vimeo.com/1220370875/2...

I'm in Brazil's biggest newspaper this week, in the run-up to a conference in Sau Paulo where I'll be giving a keynote next week. I'm excited to engage in discussions with business leaders, academics, and indigenous rights advocates about what a prosperous post-growth Brazil may look like.
