Description
In the final weeks before the creation of Lake Powell, Richard Norgaard led David Brower,
Elliot Porter, and others on a series of trips down the Glen Canyon. In this interview, we explore
how this experience led Norgaard to a career in economics, where he vowed to change the field
from within. Now, 50 years later, Norgaard reflects on this collective effort to found the field of
ecological economics and why, more than ever, science and economics need a sense of humility
and openness to multiple voices.
