Description:

The end of Capitalism is nigh. Or we should certainly hope so.

Raj Patel makes a convincing case for the urgent need to think beyond capitalism if we are to move towards a zero-carbon economy. “Let us recognise that the system itself is dooming us and that we need to think outside it rather than within it” – Raj Patel.

If this sounds revolutionary, that’s precisely the point.

Raj and I discuss:

  • Why we shouldn’t call this era the “Anthropocene”
  • What Capitalism actually is
  • The frontiers of Capitalism and the search for the next best “cheap thing”
  • The Chicken McNugget: the symbol of modern capitalism
  • The Market Approach: Carbon pricing, Natural Capital, and voting with your fork
  • Thinking beyond Capitalism: a Theory of Change to get us to a zero-carbon economy
