Professor Sir Partha Dasgupta - Die Zeit

  • Charlie Clift

“The reasons we are on our current path can be traced to institutional failure writ large… and the failure of contemporary conceptions of economic possibilities to acknowledge that we are embedded within Nature, we are not external to it.” Most economist like to concentrate on money, not Professor Sir Partha Dasgupta, he has spent his recent years concentrating on something far more valuable – the biodiversity of our planet. When I was asked to photograph him for Die Zeit I jumped at the chance to meet such an incredible thinker. However, it was sad to hear such a well researched and accomplished figure speaking in such blunt terms about how humans are destroying our planet.
