UK, Professor Tim Jackson on his book “Post Growth: Life After Capitalism”. Lorenz Keysser from ETH Zurich takes it further: planned decline coupled with increasing well-being – degrowth. Stock markets, banks, every business – everybody wants to grow more and buy, buy, buy. Will we wait for the great collapse, or plan our way back down the mountain?

Alex,
We at Truth and Justice Radio (TJR) applaud your continuing efforts to wake listeners up to the enormity of climate change.
Our host has selected the 2nd half of your July 27 posting, Post Growth and Degrowth, for possible airing on TJR’s July 30 edition. I am concerned about its audio defects, as described here.
Professor Keysser’s voice is remarkably clear up to roughly 18:04 in that 2nd half. Then, rather abruptly, his voice tone changes. It becomes muddy and much less clear. His esses are almost imperceptible. Occasionally his voice becomes clear once more, sometimes in the middle of a sentence. But this doesn’t last. This alternation continues to the close of Keysser’s interview at 26:05.
Do you have a recording of the Keysser interview that is clear from start to finish?
