Economic models can operate in support of life on earth, rather than at the expense of the living world. Listeners of this episode can dip their toes into a variety of economic approaches that are available to us, from doughnut economics to the circular economy to the well-being economy to the regenerative economy to degrowth.

Don't worry if economics is not your thing. This really is about our home, and how we structure society and our economy so that they operate in service of our life support system, our nest.

This episode explores the migratory restlessness of robins, and follows host Alice Irene Whittaker as she goes on her own restless journey to Finland, to learn about economic models, as documented in a chapter of her new book, Homing: A Quest to Care for Myself and the Earth. Her personal story and extensive research weave together, and ask: How much do we love the current economic system? Will we resign ourselves to capitalism and sacrifice everything for “endless growth”, or will we take a courageous leap in a new direction?
