On this episode, economist Steve Keen offers a deep forensic history of why modern economic theory has neglected the role of energy in productivity - and why this “Energy Blindness” is now a major blindspot in how our culture views the present - and the future. The massive, temporary carbon surplus we’ve extracted over the last few centuries has resulted in an exponential increase in the standard of living for many. This explosion of global economic growth also happened to coincide with the development of all modern economic theories and formulas, leading to a core misunderstanding in ...

When will the blind see?
Revisado: 02-29-24
The blindness that neoclassical economics has created for almost all of us, is destroying the viable future for all of us.<
>Steve does a terrific job of explaining how Adam Smith’s model has become the only one that for all practical purposes our societies follow.
He points out how energy has never been part of the modelling that these economist use.
The culture I grew up in as well as the masters degree I obtained in economics, simply do not address the crucial issues of our future, and do, in fact, do many fans that guarantee be destruction of human life on earth,

What is economics? How does the global economy work? What do different economic theories tell us about the world? Ha-Joon Chang explains how the global economy works and why anyone can understand the dismal science. Unlike many economists who claim there is only one way of 'doing economics', he introduces listeners to a wide range of economic theories, from classical to Keynesian, revealing how they all have their strengths, weaknesses and blind spots.

The viruses keep coming, the climate is warming, and the Earth is rewilding. Our human family has no playbook to address the mayhem unfolding around us. If there is a change to reckon with, argues the renowned economic and social theorist Jeremy Rifkin, it’s that we are beginning to realize that the human race never had dominion over the Earth and that nature is far more formidable than we thought, while our species seems much smaller and less significant in the bigger picture of life on Earth, undermining our long-cherished worldview.

Another deep and profound analysis by Jeremy Rifkin, that provides not only deep perspective on how we got into our current messy situations, but hope for how we might be able to get out of them and build a more humane future for all

Gabor Maté’s internationally bestselling books have changed the way we look at addiction and have been integral in shifting the conversations around ADHD, stress, disease, embodied trauma, and parenting. Now, in this revolutionary book, he eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their health care systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

Dialogue provides practical guidelines for one of the essential elements of true partnership - learning how to talk together in honest and effective ways. It reveals how problems between managers and employees, and between companies or divisions within a larger corporation, stem from an inability to conduct a successful dialogue.

The first book of its kind, Peak Performance combines the inspiring stories of top performers across a range of capabilities - from athletic, to intellectual, to artistic - with the latest scientific insights into the cognitive and neurochemical factors that drive performance in all domains. In doing so, Peak Performance uncovers new linkages that hold promise as performance enhancers but have been overlooked in our traditionally-siloed ways of thinking.

I bought as Daily Deal and, frankly, wasn't expecting anything like this. A solid, insightful analysis and prescription for anyone seeking personal performance improvement in their lives (not just work or sports).
