At the end of a slightly terrifying week, where a major financial crisis was averted – for now – I thought I’d reflect on whether such a crisis might happen anyway, and what this means for UK financial sector policy.

Not true. Given growth hasn't been improving people's lives in the UK, and the utter lack of evidence that growth can be sufficiently decoupled from it's ecological impacts, another way forward is to promote a post-growth economy that prioritises wellbeing for all within planetary boundaries.
Promoting green growth does not make you an ‘eco-nutter’. It’s the only way forward
Heading off the environmental crisis and growing the economy are not at odds. They are two sides of a coin – as our politicians should realise
