Game changer: An economy beyond profit - Book talk with Jennifer Hinton
Welcome to this book talk with ecological economist Jennifer Hinton.
Dr. Jennifer Hinton will present her forthcoming book, Game changer: An economy beyond profit. The book offers a conceptual model of a sustainable economic system that we could start transitioning to today: the Not-for-Profit Economy. In this talk, Jennifer will present a brief overview of the for-profit economic system we currently have and what makes it unsustainable, followed by a short tour of the sustainable Not-for-Profit Economy we could have. She will close with some ideas about transformation pathways before taking questions and comments.
