Episode Synopsis
The global Church is encouraging a shift towards ecological economics. Meanwhile, our Federal and State Governments are both introducing wellbeing budgets that include quality of life measures to counter excessive focus on GDP. On May 24th, the Justice & Peace Office Sydney hosted a Wellbeing Economics Symposium. In it, we discussed these two paradigms, how they overlap, and how we can draw on them in our own work at the grassroots level. Fr Peter Smith from the Justice & Peace Office Sydney presented his work on Ecological Economics, A Just Economy. Take a listen!
