No corps and states here. The article is all about individuals, almost all are academics:
- Tim Jackson is a professor who seems to have spent his life in NGOs, think tanks and getting degrees of various kinds.
- "Kate Soper teaches philosophy and cultural theory at the University of North London"
- "Giorgos Kallis is a citizen of Greece, professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, publisher of over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles, and an active member of the group Research & Degrowth"
- Anitra Nelson is "an activist-scholar affiliated with the Informal Urbanism Research Hub (InfUr-) at the University of Melbourne, Australia."
- "Jason Edward Hickel (born 1982) is an anthropologist and professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona"
- "Kohei Saito, a 37-year-old Japanese Marxist philosopher has emerged as the movement’s public face." [Saito is an associate professor at the University of Tokyo]
The only one that isn't an academic is Liegey.
The quickest way to give these people a less hypocritical understanding of economics would be to give them exactly what they ask for, and apply some degrowth to their grant funding.
- Foreignborn 2y agoI read the article, but was replying to parent comment about "young global leaders fly their private jets..." I'm going to bet my bottom dollar none of those featured in the article are flying private, nor have any political ability to limit the parent commenter in any way. Hence, not who they I think they were talking about.
