Comments from Kathleen:
I realize on the surface that a show about economics might not be as sexy as some of our other topics. But this book, interview and topic have continued to haunt me for years. Infinite and unchecked growth is not possible. It is not possible. The world cannot sustain it. This is the elephant sitting in your living room as the CNBC talking heads mouth off about quarterly reports and the minute to minute happenings on Wall Street. The Slow Money philosophy fundamentally changed the way I look at the problems our planet is facing. It changed the way I think about investing, politics, consumption, business ownership, careers (mine and others), food, the environment. I find myself coming back to these ideas again and again with each new challenge we face globally and locally. Within the pages of his book and the words that escape his lips — here is one man brave enough and wise enough to say it like it is. Thank God.
