Video Highlights: Strategies for a New Economy Conference Speaker Interviews
Culled from over 20 video interviews recorded live at the New Economics Institute Strategies for a New Economy Conference on June 9, 2012, this highlights reel features insightful comments with key speakers discussing the significance of the conference in the context of developments in the New Economy Movement.
"There's been enough work done, and enough concern, that everyone wanted to be at this conference," says NEI Boardmember Gar Alperovitz. "We didn't expect that -- it was sold out 2 months early, but that tells you something about the time and the themes that are here is that it's time where we all work together to build a movement but also to build the ideas and the practical structures."
Other speakers appearing in the clip include: Gus Speth of Vermont Law School (and an NEI Boardmember), NEI Education Director Susan Witt, Mike Wallace of the Global Reporting Initiative, Seventh Generation Co-Founder Jeffrey Hollender, David Brancaccio of Marketplace, Alisa Gravitz of Green America, Carina Millstone of NEI, Marty Dagoberto of Occupy/Decolonize Boston, and NEI President & CEO Bob Massie.
