The second webinar in our series gives a better understanding of how the global economy currently works and the urgency we face to create change, recognizing that the global economic system can be a major obstacle to local change and that there is a need to change the ground rules of global economics if we are ever to create a sustainable society at the local level. Ross Jackson, author of the book “Occupy World Street”, puts forward an alternative international political/economic model to deal with the dilemma facing the world community and a concrete strategy to implement it. This webinar will give information presented in the Gaia Education EDE curriculum, including: • An understanding of how the global economy currently works and the urgency we face to create change. • Ways in which the global economy can be turned towards sustainability, and some of the solutions being proposed by our invited special presenter.
