I am blown away by Harmut Rosa! My son is enjoying Sociology in his first year in college. I sent him a link to a TedTalk by Harmut. Did you notice he listed through "spheres"? I believe he is referring to a systematic analysis of social spheres, the public sphere is only one of many social spheres. I am excited to hear more from Hartmut and others about social resonance and de-growth. This "invisible college" of thought is exactly the direction Western countries need to go to find a way out of addictive, unsustainable growth.
Aloy Soppe, the writer, is a professor of financial ethics at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
His approach is holistic, taking account not only of human beings but of the planet and all life.
In addition to mankind’s original struggles with the environment and other life forms, we mortals are caught between the hammer and the anvil of abstract, inimical forces—ideologies with little or no bearing on our lives and the dead weight of debt, at once lifeless and undying. I think you’ll find that Soppe takes an original but well-grounded approach to the issue of growth, drawing on the patterns of life and death in Nature, far from dualism and Cartesian abstraction.
Do we really have to wait for greed and hubris to pursue their uninterrupted career all the way to the bursting of the next bubble before we act to bind and tame the monster we have created?

Jay, I'm adding another cross-reference which could perhaps be useful to Dr. Richardson herself and to others who follow her blog:

Thank you, Jay.
