The Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute hosted an online forum on June 24. Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose joined Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan from Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) to explore Doughnut Economics. This framework defines the goal of economics as "social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth."

The discussion highlighted its global application. Kate Raworth introduced the concept, followed by Leonora Grcheva's insights on city implementation and Erinch Sahan's perspective on business applications. This insightful forum, reflecting the Garrison Institute's "Timeless Wisdom, Timely Action," offered ideas for improving the quality of life for all.

Robert Reich and Mark Zandi debated Glenn Hubbard and Arthur Laffer on the topic: "The Rich Are Taxed Enough." Moderated by John Donvan, the discussion addressed how to fix the U.S. economy.

With a nearing trillion-dollar budget deficit and high unemployment, the expiring Bush-era tax cuts presented a critical economic challenge. President Obama advocated raising taxes on incomes over $250,000 to reduce the deficit. Conversely, others argued the wealthiest 1% already pay over a quarter of federal taxes, and higher taxes on "job creators" would hinder economic growth. The central question remained: should tax breaks be extended for everyone, or are the wealthy not paying their "fair share"?

Kris Gasteratos, founder of the Cellular Agriculture Society (CAS) and author of "90 Reasons," recently met with Suzette Bishop at Google NY. Their discussion focused on lab-grown meat, cellular agriculture, and Project CMF.

Project CMF (Cell-based Meat Facility) is a CAS design initiative conceptualizing New York's meat production by 2040, where animal cells are farmed instead of animals. Over a dozen leading cell-based meat scientists were consulted to create an ambitious yet realistic vision. Kris Gasteratos is the Lead Concept Designer, with Mihai Iacubovschi as Lead Visual Designer.
