Countercultural Paths to Sustainability

To christen our new blog, we would like to share with you the following presentation by Lyle Grant titled "Countercultural Paths to Sustainability." This presentation was given at the 2012 meeting of the Association for Behavior Analysis International.

Dr. Grant's presentation is based on the following main ideas:
  1. Developed economies are a relic of an economic fossil-fuel age.
  2. Altering reinforcers is required to make a transition to a cultural age of less work, less consumption, and a higher standard of localized living.
  3. Altered reinforcers are the basis of bohemian countercultures, including Walden Two, and are cultural variants that need to be encouraged and selected as features of a sustainable future.
Dr. Grant invites you to visit this link for more information on his talk.
