Over the past few weeks I've been airing material from a teach called confronting the triple crises - climate change, peak oil and resource depletion. I'm going to play you more from that teach in , as well as resume reading from the book Power and powerlessness by Susan Rosenthal as we start a new chapter this week ..
A theme that will emerge from the teach- in speakers this week is the role of the economic system in both bringing about the crises and impeding solutions to it -why nothing is being done so far that makes a significant difference .
