Episode notes
Are we trapped in an economic system that prioritises profit over people and the planet? Or is there a way to rethink growth, sustainability, and our role in shaping a fairer future?
In this episode, we sit down with Julián Ruiz, a visionary economist who is challenging conventional economic models and advocating for a transformative approach—one that values communities and the environment just as much as capital.
From green transitions to alternative economic models, Julián unpacks the biggest questions of our time:
🔹 Can we shift towards an economy that truly benefits society?
🔹 What does degrowth really mean, and could it be the key to sustainability?
