FFS 036 - Chicken Nugget Capitalism

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 Links: Raj Patel's Website and Twitter Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System – Raj Patel The Value of Nothing – Raj Patel A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things: A Guide to Capitalism, Nature and the Future of the Planet – Raj Patel & Jason W.
