Here (fixed, it now links to his 2010 talk) is the "Hans Rosling on global population growth" (and economic development) TED talk I mentioned, using very cool Gapminder data presentation.
I'm curious what the "anti-tech-fix" folk would make of Krugman's April NYT Environmental Econ 101 piece Building a green economy.
Eva mentioned the New Economics Foundation
("Economics as if people and the planet mattered"; "We are unique in combining rigorous analysis and policy debate with practical solutions on the ground, often run and designed with the help of local people. We also create new ways of measuring progress towards increased well-being and environmental sustainability.")
Dave mentioned the Monkeynomics TED talk - that monkeys show similar economic behavior to ours. (?)
Other links?
