Capitalist Realities, Radical Futures, and How to Get There

We fear losing work, yet we dread the work we have - it’s the capitalist work paradox. But what if there was another way?

Join Simon Mair (University of York) and the Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures as they explore how work can be reimagined from a way to earn money, to something that can help us achieve our environmental and social goals.

The challenge is to refocus the economy, such that it can recognise and value inefficient but socially useful forms of work. In doing this, Simon will demonstrate how these changes in the kind of work we do can support broader transitions and lead to a more sustainable future.

The event will include a drinks reception, audience Q&A, and an opportunity for informal networking and discussion following the talk.

A limited online attendance option will also be available for those unable to join us in person.

This event is part of our ‘Rethinking Prosperity on a Finite Planet’ series.
