This week Kerry Lonergan sat down with international economist and political theorist, Ralph Schoellhammer following his presentation at the BeefEx grainfed industry conference in Brisbane.

Professor Schoellhammer specialises in the intersection of political philosophy and energy policies. His work explores how cultural convictions influence policy outcomes, particularly regarding energy, industry, and agriculture, addressing what he sees as a cultural self hate in the West.

As reported earlier this week, Professor Schoellhammer advocates ‘The world needs more Australian agriculture and mining”. However, as Kerry and the professor discuss, the challenge lies in changing deep-rooted idealologies.

The weekly grill podcast is brought to listeners by Zoetis’ Rhinogard.
