The Linear Economy Is a Self-Destruct Sequence: Why Recycling Won't Save Us
Circular Economy: Recent Advances, New Perspectives and Applications
Based on the research compiled in *Circular Economy: Recent Advances, New Perspectives and Applications* (edited by Tao Zhang, 2021), this video dismantles the illusion that our current economic model is sustainable. We reveal why the free market is blind to the value of nature, how inflation is actually an ecological inefficiency tax, and why even perfect recycling can't feed an exponentially growing industrial machine. From the 1930s Dust Bowl to the COVID-19 pandemic, we trace the hidden links between ecological collapse and financial crisis. Discover the radical redesign required—from the functionality economy to cradle-to-cradle manufacturing—and why banks in emerging markets like China and Peru are leading the way. If you want to understand the real cost of living and the only path to survival, this is a must-watch.
