A World That Cares

Tim Jackson, Catherine Liu. Isabel Hilton hosts

We are constantly told to be more productive, more efficient and more successful. This pursuit of individual perfection, however, is taking its toll on our physical and mental well-being. And whilst we all know that caring for others — children, the sick, the elderly, the mentally ill — and caring for ourselves is important, in the marketplace it is treated as the lowest priority. Care jobs are amongst the lowest paid. So what would it take to create an economy that values care — given the fact we will all rely on it one day? Join UC Irvine professor Catherine Liu and economist Tim Jackson as they debate how to build hope in a world that doesn't care.

"I applaud Tim Jackson and this manifesto for a healthy and sustainable world." — Raine Eisler
