The global financial system has failed us in its promise, resulting in an environment and society in crisis.  A movement for a new economics, one that supports people and the planet, is emerging as an inevitable response.  The Thirtieth Annual E. F. Schumacher Lectures introduced three leading voices for a New Economics:
Gus Speth, prominent environmentalist who has been at the forefront of rethinking the connection between the health of the environment and the nature of our economic system;
Neva Goodwin, pioneer of contextual economics education at the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University;
Stewart Wallis, executive director of the influential new economics foundation of London.
