Today I heard from
friend Juris Greste and being a retired people-focussed urban designer, he
encouraged me listen to Ockham’s Razor on Radio National.
It was on this particular program that Kerryn Higgs from the
University of Tasmania talks about her new book, “Collision Course” in which
she laments our addiction to growth.
Juris, the father of the until recently imprisoned Peter
Greste, wrote:
Dear friends,
It is interesting and
challenging (to hopefully most of us) that I should be reading these links the
day that our new Premier confirmed her commitment to economic growth. No
mention of growth in quality (on any front), wisdom, creativity, cleverness,
efficiency, well-being or even 'happiness'.
Is it the same old product, merely in different packaging?
How do we make an
impression on this droning mantra?
Best to you all, Juris
The Ockham’s Razor program Juris refers to can be heard here.
Beneath the Wisteria
supporter, Robyn Lipshut also alerted us to the same program.
(Juris lives in Brisbane).
