Entanglements podcast: Economics
2023 Intellectual Forum intern Noah Rouse speaks to Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics and self-described renegade economist, about economics and the natural world on this week's episode of Entanglements, the new IF podcast.
Human society has always been deeply entangled with nature. How has our relationship with nature changed over time? And how does our relationship with the natural world inform our sense of self?
Across eight episodes of Entanglements, Noah sits down with academics and influential figures to discuss these questions in a podcast that challenges and informs our relationship with the natural world.
The first three episodes on "Defining Nature", "The Romantics", and "The American Consciousness" were released on 10 October; the fourth episode on "Mathematics" was released on 17 October; and the fifth episode on "Conservation" was released on 24 October. The remaining two episodes will be released weekly on 7 and 14 November.
