At the Institute for New Economic Thinking conference earlier this month, Capital Institute colleague and Braintrust member Peter Victor gave the conference a sneak peek at his work with Tim Jackson on an ecological economics model of rapid economic growth, an economic crash, and a managed low-growth economy. He argues that the early findings suggest a steady-state economy may be preferable to economic growth. At the end of the video, he s that one of the question most in need of answering is whether a stable financial system requires growth in the real economy. This question gets to the core of the Capital Institute’s goals and understanding of the role of the financial system.
