In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with Dr. William Abare, President, Flagler College, how education is changing. They explore the growing challenges to education: costs rising faster than inflation; students bearing $1.2 trillion in loans while facing disruptive technological changes and job markets shifting globally. Traditional colleges are challenged by massive open online courses (MOOCs) such as Khan Academy, backed by Bill Gates, and other start-ups now funded by Silicon Valley capitalists, with millions of students learning free online. How can the benefits of campus-based education be extended to include more student and help counter growing inequality?

Old courses still assume the impacts of business activities harming others and their environmental costs can be “externalized” from company balance sheets. Dr. Roberts, whose doctorate is in health and labor economics, has designed a more scientific curriculum, taking account of social and technological changes that have changed the global economy. Dr. Roberts teaches broader analyses and strategies for business success and new scorecards so that her students can prosper in the 21^st century while contributing to more sustainable societies

720 – Asia’s Challenges to Western Economies

In this program, Hazel Henderson and Asian Markets Sustainability Analyst Matthew McGarvey, both China experts, review the new challenges China poses to Western economies as well as from other emerging economies in Asia. Western economists misunderstand the restructuring in China from exports toward domestic goals and shifting from polluting coal to wind, solar and the “circular economy” and their “Green GDP.” The new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIG) led by China has attracted members like Britain and other European countries, as well as the IMF. Yet, the US Congress refused to join and is now out in the cold. The rush to new mega-trade deals in Asia and the need for new rules and metrics are explored.

794 – Transitioning Economies Towards New Values

In this program, Hazel Henderson and Asian Markets Sustainability Analyst Matthew McGarvey, who has lived in China, Vietnam and regularly visits Asia, discuss trends toward new values beyond Western GDP-measured economic growth.

788 – Robots Taking Over: What Will Humans Do?

In this program, Hazel Henderson and NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell explore the advance of automation as ever more sectors of industrial societies are digitized: from manufacturing to retailing, accounting, healthcare, education, legal services and even finance. Driverless vehicles will end jobs in trucking, taxis, which offer millions of entry-level opportunities. Fly-by-wire airplanes have caused the deskilling of pilots, some of whom have been confused when computerized navigation systems have failed – causing crashes. Can computerized systems be programmed with human values: empathy, compassion and ethics? Can a driverless car pass an ethical test of judgment: swerving to avoid hitting a group of people at the expense of colliding with a single person? Bushnell points out how much more efficient computers are at many tasks than humans. Henderson looks at the macro-effects: how can economies maintain aggregate demand to buy all the new productivity’s goods and services? How can people obtain purchasing power if not from jobs? They discuss alternatives emerging: worker-owned companies, cooperative enterprises and guaranteed basic incomes now enacted in Brazil, Mexico and proposed in Switzerland, Europe and the USA.

787 – Privacy in the New Media Age Versus the First Amendment: Part II

– In this program, Hazel Henderson continues discussing with Professor Jon L. Mills his current book, Privacy in the New Media Age. The conversation focuses on the USA and how the Constitution favors free speech and press in the First Amendment over individual rights to privacy. Mills cites many examples of how individuals are harmed in today’s social media, by false statements by bloggers, ubiquitous cameras in public places, tracking individuals’ movements via their cellphones and GPS. They explore data-collecting by government and by corporations selling users’ personal data to advertisers, as well as snooping by drones. Again, these new technologies and media have outrun the law and public awareness and in some cases even dubious rulings by the Supreme Court.

Rising Sea Levels Worldwide Part 1 – John Englander 796

In this program Hazel Henderson discusses with John Englander, geologist and oceans expert, author of Rising Tide on Main Street, the steady rise of global oceans due to global atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.  The Earth’s temperature continues rising as fossil fuels are burned, oceans absorb additional CO2, glaciers and ice sheets at the planet’s poles are melting.  Englander studies coastlines and show visual evidence of the effects on the World’s 20 most vulnerable cities: Boston, New York, Washington DC, Seattle, San Diego, as well as Shanghai, London, Bangkok and low-lying countries Holland, the Philippines and many small island sates.  In some areas, land is also sinking, and in others tectonic plates cause the land under, for example Los Angeles, to rise.  Since 2015, 195 countries have agreed to address these largely human-caused effects with transition management strategies: investments in adaptation, sea walls, more and higher levees, relocation of humans settlements and shifting to renewable energy.  Timeframes for action are reviewed.  Transition management begins with realistic views of global change.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

Rising Sea Levels Worldwide Part 2 – John Englander 797

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with John Englander, geologist and oceans expert, author of Rising Tide on Main Street, all the sensible, realistic ways that humans can practice transition management: by mitigating and adapting to rising sea levels.  The world’s oceans will continue their steady rise – even if fossil fuel burning were to cease immediately.  The long-term processes set in motion by rising global temperatures, melting glaciers and polar ice sheets are altering risk-analyses models in finance, insurance and business.  Transition management strategies and options are discussed, from changing real estate values; building codes; reinforcing urban infrastructure; siting of essential transport and communications networks, as well as how investments will be affected and where new opportunities lie in shifting beyond fossil fuels to low-carbon, cleaner green economies.

Global system Change Part 1 – Frank Dixon 800

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses a range of global challenges and transition management strategies with Frank Dixon (Harvard MBA), former head of global research with the famed, pioneering social auditing firm Innovest.  They discuss the ways in which global geopolitics is evolving in response to the systemic changes to our planet’s ecosystems due to human activities.  As water shortages, drought, floods and climate disruption effect more countries and populations, decision-makers in business government and civic society are seeing that all these problems are inter-linked.  Frank Dixon’s book, Global System Change, maps these global issues and connects the dots.  At the same time, Henderson points to the same new awareness by over 190 member countries of the United Nations in their 2015 agreement on the 17 issues addressed in their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  There is now evidence that humans are accepting responsibility for the changes created by unsustainable industrial development and moving toward integrated policies.  These realistic approaches to transition management can lead to cleaner, healthier, more equitable societies on which our survival may depend.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

Beyond Blood Stained Gems: New Science & Standards – Frank Dixon 802

In this program, Hazel Henderson explores with Frank Dixon, MBA, author of Global System Change, the damaging effects of the global gem mining industry, now a case study in transition management.  This industry has been the focus of many NGO critics since diamond mining is not only dangerous and polluting, but has helped fuel armed conflicts in many African countries.  Several UN resolutions have addressed the need to stop the flow of these “blood diamonds” and the global diamond cartel has responded with the Kimberley Certification which only certifies their diamonds are “conflict-free”.  This ignores the much larger problems of miners’ injuries, deaths, low wages and the pollution of water supplies and air in mining areas and communities.  Beyond these hazards is the fact that this gem mining industry is now obsolete and unnecessary, since science now produces identical gems in laboratories in many countries without human and environmental damage.  Thus Dixon examines Ethical Markets transition management tool: its global standard, EthicMark® GEMS which certifies only gems not mined from the Earth.  Dixon asks Henderson how this better standard was developed and how it can challenge this obsolete mining industry by this market-based transition to reform: EthicMark® GEMS can create a healthier new industry and many thousands of new jobs while saving lives, human misery and the environment – an illustration of positive transition management.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

Evolution of Corporate Responsibility and Accountability – Marcello Palazzi 803

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with Marcello Palazzi, MBA, president of the Progressio Foundation in Holland, their experiences in developing these new standards for transition management: corporate social performance and auditing over the past 30 years.  Palazzi recounts his path in business and how he came to realize that standards for environmental, social responsibility were rising as the effects of corporate activities disrupted communities and ecosystems.  Henderson’s experiences came from a civic organization she co-founded, Citizens for Clean Air, in the USA and how this led to her lifelong work as a science policy advisor in Washington and with the Calvert Social Investment Fund.  Both had focused on aspects of transition management, developing new accounting models and metrics.  These are now globally accepted by such organizations as the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB).   Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

Trends Toward Sustainability in Brazil – Thais Corral 805

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with award-winning civic leader Thais Corral, co-author of Leadership Is Global, the current crises and transitions occurring in her country Brazil.  Brazil has all the resources and capital assets it needs to make the transition to sustainability, including human, social and intellectual capital with advanced infrastructure and industries, and the planet’s primary storehouse of natural capital.  However, Brazil’s active democracy needs to shake off the obsolete fossil-fueled industrial model still imposed by foreign investors and traditional financial models.  Thais Corral points to Brazil’s rich civic society traditions, participatory politics, its optimistic people and their open flexibility in embracing change as their best resource in transition management.  This civic genius is the “software” that may prove to be Brazil’s unique export to the world and its struggle for domestic reforms offer lessons for other countries.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

13. The Future: Toward Full-Spectrum Accounting – Alice Tepper Marlin 808

In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with Alice Tepper-Marlin, president-emeritus of SAI International and founder of 10-Squared, the future of accounting for ethical, social and environmental performance of portfolios, companies and governments.  This important tool of transition management is full-spectrum accounting, a multi-disciplinary method.  This goes beyond the earlier money-based models evaluating life-cycle costs and recognizing 6 kinds of capital: financial, built facilities, intellectual, social, human and natural capital.  These broader metrics are now promulgated globally by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and in the USA by Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB), chaired by Michael Bloomberg.  At last, the obsolete models in traditional economics permitting social and environmental costs to be “externalized” is exposed as irresponsible.  Tepper-Marlin describes her latest venture 10-Squared, another transition management innovation and management tool for companies to achieve better social and environmental performance goals.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015

819 – “INVESTING IN SALTWATER AGRICULTURE: THE NEXT BIG THING”

In this program, Hazel Henderson and NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell continue their exploration of the massive global potential in shifting over-investments in food and agriculture dependent on the planet’s 3% of freshwater to the other halt of the plant kingdom: the 10,000 salt-loving (halophyte) plants that can fill human food and fuel needs for the foreseeable future. These crops grown with saltwater: e.g. nutritious quinoa grains in health foods and tasty salt-tolerant rice in Chinese markets are grown in 22 countries. This can expand to feed growing populations, relieve pressure on freshwater and provide food and fuels from the Earth’s 40% of degraded and desert lands. Halophyte plants require no fertilizers or pesticides and capture CO2, all to help accelerate the global transition from fossil fuels to renewable resources, cleaner, knowledge-richer economies. Today, investors can capitalize on cheap unused land, cheap water, cheap plants and free sunshine! This is a paradigm problem and due to her-behavior of financial markets.

820 – ‘SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE CROSSHAIRS”

In this program, Hazel Henderson explores with NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell the exploding use of social media and addictive behaviors of users leading to loss of privacy, autonomy and jobs.  They discuss all these issues of psychographic targeting of groups using big, data and proprietary algorithms, which are sold to data brokers and advertisers.  They review the new efforts to protect users and voters, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, attempting to curb the misuse of user’s private information with heavy fines. They   look at the other problems including government surveillance and toxic content: hate speech, biased algorithms, terrorist recruiting sites, Russian trolling and its influence on US and European elections.  Many proposals for how individuals can protect themselves are also discussed, even though this burden must also be shared by the corporations and government agencies as well.
