If you had to choose between being rich or being well, chances are you'd choose your own well-being. And yet, we live in a world shaped by an economic system that prioritizes wealth over wellness.
In this episode, we’re joined by Inge Røpke, professor of ecological economics at Aalborg University in Denmark. Inge invites us to reflect on the limits of conventional economic thinking, and how it shapes the way we understand value and progress. She makes the case for placing justice and ecological awareness at the heart of a more thoughtful and inclusive approach to economics that encourages us to look beyond numbers and toward the kind of society we actually want to live in.
