The second half of the 20th century saw rapid economic growth coupled with unprecedented human domination of earth's biological systems.
While billions of people saw their living conditions improve, the lion's share of the benefits accrued to developed nations, and within those nations, to a small percentage of the population.  Market economies have driven this wealth creation, but have not solved the problems of massive poverty and environmental degradation.
Why do free markets and political democracy struggle to provide the mix of economic well being, equity, and environmental amenities that most people desire?  Is it a matter of fine-tuning? Or are there deeper underlying reasons why poverty-reduction and environmental stewardship remain elusive?
Join us as we explore the relationship between wealth, poverty, politics, and the environment.
