Today’s society is built on sand - Aurora Torres

Listen to this episode from Economics for Rebels on Spotify. As of 2020, the physical mass of all the world’s man-made structures exceeded that of all the world’s living things. And there’s raw materials – sand and construction minerals - at the heart of these structures, but we rarely notice them, or think about where they come from. In this episode we speak with Dr Aurora Torres, one of the leading experts in the sustainability implications of society’s hunger for sand and construction minerals, and explore the ecological economics of the sand supply networks that underpin most of contemporary society.

The Progress Illusion - Jon Erickson

Listen to this episode from Economics for Rebels on Spotify. In this episode we discuss the history of how neoclassical economics achieved its hegemonic dominance, and the rise of ecological economics as a coherent alternative to the neoclassical paradigm, which is the main focus of Prof Erickson’s new book The Progress Illusion. We pick up stories along the course of Prof Erickson’s journey from neoclassically-trained environmental economist at Cornell, through discussing the emerging concept of natural capital during the fall of Pinochet in Chile, to running one of the world’s most influential ecological economics academic centres.
