Klein discusses the ideas of her book, This Changes Everything. She argues that any real solution to the climate crisis will have to overturn four aggravating factors: privatization, deregulation, "austerity," and "free-trade" deals.
This week she focuses on popular movements that have built alternative, environmentally friendly utilities. Or at least have hindered environmentally destructive ones such as new pipelines.
Plus a song by David Rovics & commentary by KD.
Introduction and afterword by KD.
