Paths to Paradigm Shift

Capitalism has already turned our longstanding democracies into authoritarian oligarchies. America is now waking up to the reality of a dictator as President. Americans are rapidly learning that there is no centre ground between freedom and fascism. This same story is unfolding at a slower pace in Europe and the UK. Growth economics is the driver in the downfall of democracies to the propaganda from oligarchs. This workshop will help you to join the dots and choose your own path forwards as profound paradigm shift now plays out rapidly on the world stage.

Barbara Williams envisions global equitable economic Degrowth; where all countries collaborate peacefully to rapidly shrink the global economy back within the carrying capacity of the planet. This strategy would maximise mitigation from the escalating climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystems collapse. The presentation is pre-recorded: Paths to Paradigm Shift’. The ideas are further embellished in her LinkedIn Newsletter, her science paper: ‘A Roadmap to Ecological Justice’, and her book: Saving Us From Ourselves.‘
