234: It’s About Stuff




C-Realm Podcast show

Summary: KMO sits down with Charles A. S. Hall for an explanation of biophysical economics. If all wealth comes from the land, why do we think of economics as being about money and labor rather than about energy and "stuff?" Prof. Hall details the unworkable assumptions of neoclassical economics and brings an ecological focus to the study of labor, capital, and economic activity. Music by the David Wax Museum.
