My profession

"Professors should profess," is a probably-garbled quote from Dr. Mark Lapping, former President of Unity College, also a former mentor of mine.

Today and Monday are the last class meetings in EcoEco this semester, and so you get to hear what I think about ecological economics and the chances for human life on the planet, in particular to compare and contrast with Daly and Farley.

There are two artifacts, one a video, the other a paper. The paper was completed some time after the video. It has not yet been published.

Here's the movie:



Here's the paper:

My Profession Part 2: Second lecture outline:

We'll kick off with the news from Poland, noting the conspicuous role of "fossil elites."


I'll also bring up the Yellow Vesters again, as an example of the likely result from what I would term "recessionary" climate policy.

 

If time allows, I may then bring up Cynthia Occasio Cortez's "Green New Deal," published only last week, to see if it has anything in common at all with my "Green Keynesianism." (If so, she owes me a footnote.)
