Podcast: The Ecological Economics of Justice

The ecological crisis is foremost a crisis in our ways of thinking. In "The Ecology of Ideas" podcast, CBS Associate professor and digital ecologist Attila Márton converses with thought leaders in an attempt to learn about how we have to change our philosophies to develop an ecologic style of thinking. In this episode, the concept of Ecological Economics of justice is discussed, as well as how conventional economic thinking limits our understanding of value, and how justice and ecological awareness can guide us towards a more meaningful vision of progress.

If you had to choose between being rich or being well, chances are you would choose your own well-being. And yet, we live in a world shaped by an economic system that prioritises wealth over wellness.

In this episode, Attila Márton is joined by Inge Røpke, professor of ecological economics at Aalborg University in Denmark. Inge invites us to reflect on the limits of conventional economic thinking, and how it shapes the way we understand value and progress. She makes the case for placing justice and ecological awareness at the heart of a more thoughtful and inclusive approach to economics that encourages us to look beyond numbers and toward the kind of society we actually want to live in.

This episode is part of the Ecology of Ideas podcast.

His primary research areas are:

Ecological Thinking and the Future(s) of Organisation
The Political Ecology of AI
Transplanetary Ecology

Attila looks at making digitalisation serve humanity: "I call myself a digital ecologist, as I am drawing on ecological thinking to understand our “togetherness” when it comes to the digital transformation of fundamental aspects of the human condition and beyond. To this effect, I am currently exploring the co-evolutionary dynamics between platforms and their respective ecosystems, the political ecology of digital labour and AI, the sociology of digital knowledge and forgetting, and, when I get to it, the expansion of humanity into outer space."
