Students in a DU ecological economics class discuss their
biggest concerns and how our society might overcome them.
Overshoot, polarization, the American Dream, politics, selfish
individualism, and the capitalism growth imperative are among the
topics explored – as GrowthBuster Dave Gardner sits down with
leaders of tomorrow.
Dave is joined by Professor Paul Sutton at the University of Denver
and students Lilia Davis, Julia Gainey, Cassienne Levan, Nathan
Cox, Mikey Ford, Geordie Shonk, Elsa Krantz, and Alexandra Van de
Water. Surprisingly, all the students seem to have a clear picture
of how deadly serious our overshoot predicament is, but - just as
surprisingly - optimism wasn’t found wanting.
