Earth is our only shareholder: Patagonia founder gives his company away
Most people are familiar with the clothing brand Patagonia. The outdoor clothing company was founded in 1973 in California and has expanded to hundreds of stores across tens of countries. Last week, headlines were made around the world, after the founder, Yvon Chouinard, announced he was giving away the company.
That’s right. He didn’t sell it, he didn’t list it on the share market, he just gave it away and pledged its profits to help fight climate change. In a world of billionaires fighting for that extra zero, building bigger boats or going to space, this was refreshing. Today Darcy and Sascha discuss… what’s the story behind Yvon Chouinard? And what happens next for Patagonia?

Why are rail workers around the world striking?
We’re feeling the impacts of inflation and cost of living pressures. In the UK, inflation is at 9.9%, in the US it is 8.3%, in Australia it is 6.1%.
Because of this, we’re seeing strikes from unions across the world – airport workers in Germany, teachers in Norway, air traffic controllers in France. One industry that seems to be in the middle of strike action around the world – rail workers.
Today Alec and Sascha talk about what’s going on with rail strikes all over the world, and ask is there more at play than just the cost of living and inflation story?
Is the sub-prime monster back?
Inflation rocked markets last week… again. When do we stop pretending it’s transitory? The Perth Mint is in trouble, and it’s more than just fridge magnets. Goldman Sachs foray into credit cards isn’t going all that great, and e-truck manufacturer Nikola’s founder has gone on trial for wire fraud. All this and more on this week’s Comedian v Economist.
