At a time when economic disparity continues to widen and the health of the planet is under severe threat, many question the tenet that growth is the appropriate measure of economic sustainability and success. British economist Kate Raworth is one such inquisitor.

She presents her thesis in conversation with Rod Oram. Supported by Platinum Patrons Dame Rosie & Michael Horton.
