Ep Desc:
Due to the sheer scale of the climate crisis, many efforts dedicated to environmental preservation seem all for naught. Small-scale climate solutions, even though established with good intentions, cannot simply catch up with today’s rapid ecological decline. Let us hear from Dr. Robert Eberhart, associate professor of management at the University of San Diego, on how to solve this alarming problem. He explains how to get rid of individualism and entrepreneurial ideology that prevent us from achieving collective impact. Dr. Eberhart also discusses how to rebalance our economy and build a better world by taking action against big banks, privatizations, political oppositions, and the destructive MAGA mindset.

Santa Clause Hypothesis - 05:29
How do we escape that and build things that can work? And I think as we start this discussion, let's give some examples. What is a small scale solution that really probably won't. Sure.

Why It Fails - 08:19
Well, there's several things going on here. One, and it's fundamentally our orientation of solution.

Privatization Problem - 11:26
How do we then integrate? I mean, that's why the problem is so big, right?

At the same time that Joe Biden in the office has signed up on more new projects for oil fracking and oil exploration than I think anybody on the left really anticipated.

I'm kind of thinking about this from a more kind of global perspective. One of the things that Paul Hawkins said when I had him on the show when he was discussing his work in regeneration.

Gerrymandering - 35:04
I think partially a lot of things have happened. And part of it is beyond my say, certainly gerrymandering is a problem.

Voting – 36:47
I think this gets to one thing that is on everybody's mind because it's an election year and that is how we vote.

Entrepreneurial Ideology - 48:51
I wondered if you have any kind of closing thoughts that you'd like to share with our audience, particular tools that you might recommend that they look at as I've somewhat set the stage with my reading list with Noam Chomsky and Lives of a Cell, which are perhaps two very different approaches.
