When Jason Fried founded Basecamp, he and his partner decided not to focus on growth but on sustainability and healthy work-life balance. While Fried’s stance is unorthodox in an economy where success is literally measured by growth, economist and best-selling author Juliet Schor says Fried is onto something.
Podcast production by David Schulman.
