Trammell Crow & Bill Shireman join Dale and Stuart for a lively exploration of where we agree and disagree concerning the political economics of the climate and ecological mess humanity is making of the Earth. The clearest agreement that emerged from this lively and pertinent chat was that #NothingCanGrowForever. We were mostly in agreement, despite our differing political affiliations, which relates back to the concept in their book and Part 1, that we're all #InThisTogether.
This portends 'trouble' in a modern civilization based upon a defective economic system and its marketplace, both of which presuppose and teach 'limitless, exponential growth' in nearly every business school. Eventually there's got to be a 'reckoning' of aiming for the impossible... limitless economic growth, called 'uneconomic growth' in Ecological Economics.
That reckoning is the current 'showdown' between Nature and humanity, a confrontation that will culminate either in a #Collapse, either of human population or Nature.... or both.
