In this TED Business podcast, Gaya Herrington challenges the idea that endless economic growth is sustainable or beneficial for our well-being. She advocates for a transition to a "well-being economy" that prioritizes human and ecological needs while respecting the planet's limits. This approach doesn't call for shrinking the economy but rather rethinking what we consider progress and prosperity. It emphasizes sufficiency, fair resource distribution, and minimizing environmental harm. Herrington argues that this shift is not only achievable but also essential for creating a more sustainable and fulfilling future.
