Naomi Klein - Human Values vs economics

I found this online conversation to be an important one we should all be involved in.

We have..." been making these arguments around economics, but there is nothing more powerful than a values based argument. We’re not going to win this as bean counters. We can’t beat the bean counters at their own game. We’re going to win this, because this is an issue of values, human rights, right and wrong.... we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that what actually moves people’s hearts are the arguments based on the value of life."
Naomi Klein, in an online webinar conversation with 350.org director May Boeve ended the conversation with the statement above 'Fighting for the Places We Love': A Vision for the Climate Battles to Come" and talking about Global Divestment Days on February 13 and 14, 2015 :
