Environmental Economics — Why You Should Live in the City

Welcome back to the Environmental Economics series, hosted by Jordan Lofthouse. On this episode, Jordan interviews Justus Enninga on the intersection of economics, environmentalism and urbanism. In this conversation, Justus speaks on his PPE beginnings spawned from his time spent in Southeast India as well as on Tocqueville, city planning, climate migration, agglomeration effects in cities, immigrant influxes, and more.

Justus Enninga is a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London, where his research focuses on the intersection of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) as well as on the question of how different institutional arrangements help citizens to adapt to environmental challenges. In addition to being a PhD candidate, he also works as a director at the Prometheus Institut, a classical liberal think tank in Berlin, as well as an economic policy editor for The Pioneer. He is an alum of the Mercatus Adam Smith Fellowship.
