Episode 83 :: Hazel Henderson: Reforming Economies to Work for the Wellbeing of All Creatures
Hazel Henderson is a world renowned futurist, evolutionary economist, a worldwide syndicated columnist, consultant on sustainable development, author of Beyond Globalization, and seven other books. Her editorials appear in 27 languages and more than 400 newspapers. It’s a treat to hear this interview with her by co-host Jerry Iversen.
The challenges to the global economy glare at us: ecological breakdown, exaggerated rich-poor disparity, and the use of war to secure resources. Our guest, Hazel Henderson, has spent a lifetime promoting real alternatives. She has pursued economic reforms. She measures an economy’s strength and merit by more criteria than whether or not it’s growing. She created the Green Scoreboard online so we can all follow the trillions of dollars being shifted into the green economy year after year. She’s a great cheerleader for cooperatives. She founded the Ethical Markets TV program where she interviews guests from different parts of the world who tell viewers how ethical markets and economics are working for them. Listen! It’s a feast of encouragement ala Hazel Henderson.
