Jennifer elaborates on the key insights of her research into post-growth economics.

Jennifer and Hans discuss the following topics:

• the role of business - finance in particular - in the current unsustainable system
• how to diminish our dependency on growth
• the role it should play in the transition to a post-growth economy
