WEBINAR – Building Alternatives: Are Efforts to Reform the System Misplaced? with Ted Trainer
3 April 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Ted Trainer Ph.D is a retired Australian academic best know for his development of The Simpler Way, an alternative lifestyle that embodies deep sustainability and degrowth principles. He has written several books and numerous articles on these topics, and developed an educational site at his home near Sydney, Australia to demonstrate what a sustainable lifestyle looks like.
In this webinar Ted will argue that attempts to reform the current economic system are futile, and that efforts should focus on building a new system, providing examples from The Simpler Way.
