That's what I'm talking about...
If there's any "bottom" to the notion, both the New Economics Foundation and Rocky Mountain Institute (the latter our recent partners on a superb campus-wide energy audit conducted by RMI Fellow Anne Stephenson) have taken to calling themselves "think-and-do-tanks" rather than just think tanks.
Something I gleaned from a new Andrew Simms piece in today's Guardian on happiness and economic growth, well worth a read in its own right.
(Although I can't imagine how long it will take, or any feasible political pathway, to get from today's world of economic dogma to the one Simms imagines -- that Keynesian problem that all the most radical economists love to sweep under the carpet. And I'm not prepared to wait, especially to get something done about climate emissions.)
