A World That Cares—Building an economy that values care
Tim Jackson in conversation with Catherine Liu, David Goodhart and Barry C Smith
How The Light Gets In Festival | Hay-On-Wye, May 2025
From the Institute of Ideas website:
We are constantly told to be more productive, more efficient and more successful. This pursuit of individual perfection, however, is taking its toll on our physical and mental well-being. And whilst we all know that caring for others—children, the sick, the elderly, the mentally ill—and caring for ourselves is important, in the marketplace it is treated as the lowest priority. Care jobs are amongst the lowest paid. So what would it take to create an economy that values care—given the fact we will all rely on it one day?
Join UC Irvine professor Catherine Liu, economist Tim Jackson, and journalist David Goodhart as they debate how to build hope in a world that doesn’t care. Chaired by Barry C Smith.
