Season 3: Episode 11
The economy is just how we produce and provide for one another. So what if we threw out the old indicators of growth and profit, and instead measured its success by our collective wellbeing?On this episode of the reMAKERS podcast, we talk to Amanda Janoo (Economics and Policy Lead) and Lisa Hough-Stewart (Implementation Lead) from the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance — about the countries and businesses that are doing just that. We learn that the term ‘economy’, and the indicators of GDP, stock market growth and employment, didn’t enter the public discourse until the 1930s, as peop...

Amanda Janoo and the Design of Policies for a Wellbeing Economy
One of my favorite examples towards a Wellbeing Economy is Wales. Because they not only developed seven wellbeing goals, but they really thought a lot about how does this translate into a different form of governance and way of working? So they have these five principles for how they want to work together. And one is taking a long-term perspective? So not just constantly thinking about the short-term crises, but really the long term goals. Focusing on prevention? So as we were saying earlier, how do we prevent the economic, or environmental, or social crises from starting in the...

#15: Alliansen for trivselsøkonomi
Visste du at to av våre naboland, Island og Finland, er med i den internasjonale paraplyorganisasjonen the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll)? WEAll arbeider for en økonomi som skal være til nytte for folk og for planeten, i steden for omvendt. Norge er ikke med i alliansen, men i 2020 gjennomførte SSB en stor livskvalitetsundersøkelse som kan være et første steg på veien mot en "wellbeing economy". I denne episoden snakker vi med Anders Barstad i SSB om denne undersøkelsen. Vi snakker også med Amanda Janoo fra WEAll om hva vi mener med "wellbeing economy" o...
