A growing field of ecological economics sees the world through a more collective, shared prosperity that values human beings over never-ending growth that destroys the planet. University of Vermont Professor Jon Erickson is driving this change from the University of Vermont. He calls our current system “fairytale economics,’’ and urges us to understand the ecological reality that can no longer withstand the human onslaught of unending growth. Erickson’s new book is the Progress Illusion: Reclaiming Our Future from the Fairytale of Economics.
