In this conversation, you’re invited into a values system revolution with Indigenous systems thinker, Jack Manning Bancroft. Imagine a more expansive, relational, nature-based economy and approach to solving our biggest challenges. Imagine Imagination Labs in schools, and traditional companies transformed into Joy Corps. Imagine death dates for every organisation on the planet. Learn about it here, and so much more.

Author Rebecca Solnit has described disasters as a “portal to paradise”, where the usual stuff falls away and we’re freed from the constraints that usually keep us apart. But what if we could build the paradise now, instead of waiting for disaster to strike?

What if the answer to our biggest scientific challenges wasn’t just more science? What historical worldviews are still shaping how we operate today? Do vultures have a right to exist?

How do we reMAKE our systems to treat people with respect, kindness and empathy?  Mark Zirnsak works on issues from climate change and tax to gambling and modern slavery in his work with the Uniting Church.

What nice things could we have as a country if we stopped believing they were too expensive? How could we better solve our problems if we stopped being intimidated by economics? Economist Richard Denniss joins us for a refreshingly frank discussion about the way economics is used to conceal power and priorities.

Imagine, for a moment, having “conscience of the nation and voice of future generations” as your job description.  For seven years, that was basically Sophie Howe’s job, as the first ever Future Generations Commissioner for Wales…

Would you like to work less and be paid the same, if not more? Economist and Professor John Quiggin thinks that’s entirely reasonable, and he’s here to talk us through some of the biggest economic ideas of our time.

Is more always better, or is it time for us to consider a new purpose for our economy? How could we spend public money better, solve our problems ‘upstream’ at the source, and equip people to lead better lives — without pushing our planet to breaking point? This is a must-listen episode, with Dr Katherine Trebeck, author and co-founder of the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance.

Imagine a government in Australia dedicated to promoting long-term, holistic wellbeing in everything that it did.
