Description

In this program, Ethical Markets Media founder Hazel Henderson discusses with award-winning civic leader Thais Corral, co-author of Leadership Is Global, the transitions occurring in her country Brazil. Brazil has all the resources and capital assets it needs to make the transition to sustainability. However, the obsolete fossil-fueled industrial model is still imposed by foreign investors and traditional financial models. Thais Corral points to Brazil's rich civic society traditions, participatory politics, its optimistic people, and their open flexibility in embracing change as valuable resources in transition management. This civic genius is the "software" that may prove to be Brazil's unique export to the world and its struggle for domestic reforms offer lessons for other countries.
