This week I talked to Ben and Emma on the Planet Pulse Pacific. The conversation was diverse and wide-ranging, including:
- What inspired me to write ‘An Uncommon Land’
- The vulnerability of writing a deeply personal book
- The notion of commons – its historical significance and near-erasure in New Zealand
- Debunking the myth of the ‘tragedy of the commons’
- How the process of enclosure continues to shape society today
- Auckland’s lost tram network and the role of transport-integrated urban design
- Our complicity in an economy built on exploitation and environmental degradation
- Envisioning alternative futures: post-growth economic models, food security, and land as a shared inheritance
- Why we must redirect public investment toward collective wellbeing
