What if economic growth alone can no longer tell us whether we're making progress? In this episode of Turbo Impact, Cary Krosinsky, President and Co-Founder of the Sustainable Finance Institute, returns to join host Kenny Chen to challenge conventional thinking on economic progress. Drawing on his latest book, Cary introduces Transition Momentum, a new metric that moves beyond GDP to assess whether economies are making genuine progress on sustainability, social equity, and long-term prosperity.
Cary makes the case for a new model of growth, backed by better economic measurement, long-term green and social stimulus, and more intentional capital allocation. From the implications of AI for employment to the untapped potential of institutional investors, he explores what it will take to turn sustainability ambitions into meaningful economic transformation.
