Description
Formerly Agenda 23, this podcast has evolved into Dollars or Sense: Exploring the Economic Case for Sustainability. Do we really need to make an economic case for sustainability, or does focusing on dollars distract us from deeper social and ethical questions? Dollars or Sense explores whether today’s economic systems can truly support a sustainable future, and what would need to change if they can’t. Hosted by Mackenzie Feldman and John Ikerd, the podcast digs into the assumptions behind markets, business, and policy, asking why environmental degradation, resource extraction, and social exploitation persist even when they undermine long-term economic viability. We explore sustainability through the lens of farms and food systems, while recognizing that no sector can be sustainable without broader economic and societal transformation.
