Samuel Alexander has just released the next video presentation in his Ecological Civilization series. This time his topic is “Policies for a Post-Growth Economy,” asking the question: What would a real Green New Deal look like?

He concludes by acknowledging some hard truths about the obstacles that lie in the way of a post-growth transition (which will be explored in forthcoming presentations on strategy and theories of change).

The new presentation is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRYFR2GGjdE&list=PLGyDELJdHq36Pl6FtVu7V75OIF04SMW-5&index=4

And the full playlist of the developing series is available here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGyDELJdHq36Pl6FtVu7V75OIF04SMW-5

He also recommends reading an article by Ted Trainer which offers a critical analysis of most Green New Deal proposals: https://johnmenadue.com/it-will-take-more-than-a-green-new-deal-to-save-a-planet-in-peril/
