How economics can unlock a better path on climate change
At TEDx, John Hassler reveals a new way to think about climate and prosperity.
We've been told a terrifying story about climate change. We stand before two doors: behind one is environmental collapse, and behind the other is economic ruin from the drastic policies meant to stop it. It’s a classic "wicked problem" where every choice leads to disaster. But what if that story is wrong? What if there's a third door? In this talk, you'll discover why the choice between our planet and our prosperity is a false dilemma.
