Kate Raworth & Kamana Beamer - HIGHLIGHTS

She argues that we need a new economics for the 21st century, an economics that prioritizes health, sustainability, and wellness over endless growth. In conversation with UH professor Kamanamaikalani Beamer, she discovers how modern circular economics builds from ancestral Native Hawaiian practices of wealth creation, resource distribution, and environmental conservation.
