August 2025
From the podcast website:
Herman Daly would have turned 87 years old on July 21st, 2025. While he is no longer with us, his ideas have lived on—shaping an economic future that we haven’t yet achieved, but is steadily becoming the most probable way forward in the face of rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and ecological and economic decimation.
But who exactly was Herman Daly? Why was his work scorned by the World Bank? And how can his plan for world economics save the planet?
Featuring economists Gaya Herrington, Tim Jackson, Kate Raworth, along with other experts, scholars, and Herman’s nearest and dearest, join host David Miller for a special limited series exploring the life of Herman Daly, the economist who transformed the thinking of some of the leading economic and climate thinkers of our times.
