Green and Prosperous Land: A...

Dieter Helm

‘One of the most important books of the decade’ Country Life
Finally, a practical, realistic plan to rescue, preserve and enhance nature.
News about Britain’s wildlife and ecosystems tends to be grim. In Green and Prosperous Land, Oxford economist and Natural Capital Committee chair Dieter Helm shares his radical but tangible plan for positive change.
This pragmatic approach to environmentalism includes a summary of Britain’s green assets, a look towards possible futures and an achievable 25-year plan for a green and prosperous country. The bold generational plan assesses the environment as a whole, explains the necessity of protecting and enhancing our green spaces and offers a clear, financially sound strategy to put Britain on a greener path.
Helm’s arguments expose the economic inefficiencies in our environmental policies and thus highlight the need for change. Leaving behind the current sterile and ineffective battle between the environment and the economy, this revolutionary plan champions the integration of the economy and the environment together to deliver sustainable, eco-friendly economic growth. There is hope, and there is time, but we must act now.
Helm's award-winning approach to conservation is not only strategic, but also deeply rooted in economics and policy. His plan for a greener Britain is not just a dream, but a well-thought-out, achievable goal that integrates the best of science, business, and public planning.
For fans of Isabella Tree (Wilding), Vaclav Smil (Size), Bill Gates (Source Code), Linda J. Lear (Under the Sea Wind), and Rachel Carson (The Edge of the Sea).

Why Businesses Fail? S01E02

Amar Deshpande

What is the role of the Government in the success (or failure) of a business? Answering this question can take many avatars, and one can be bombarded with multiple perspectives and opinions. But there are two follow up questions that can help set a direction towards an insightful discussion. Those questions are:
a. Should Governments be in the business of running a business?
b. Does government policy influence business, or does business influence government policies?
In this episode of Why Businesses Fail, we lean towards the first question. There was once an era when Public Sector companies in India dominated Television manufacturing. Brands like Uptron, Konark and Crown were household names in the 1980s. Within a decade, these brands virtually disappeared. What caused this implosion of the brands? Was it market transformation, changing customer preferences, or the inability of the companies to innovate and take risks, often due to regulatory shackles?
We also look at some other industries in India such as airlines, and information technology in this episode. The latter is a classic example that not every government policy or regulation is bad. In policies such as STPI or Software Technologies Parks of India have helped the technology sector. We leave the following question UN-answered for a reason - can Governments play a role in the failure of a business?
