So, we sat down with Tim Jenkins, who manages the Great Transition Initiatives work at the New Economics Foundation including the development of a new economic model, Victor Anderson, Senior Economist at WWF and author of Alternative Indicators and Manager of Prosperity without growth, and Phillip Pearson, Senior Policy Officer at the Trade Union Council‘s Economic and Social Affairs Department, to get their take on this emerging concept.
