Klein discusses the ideas of her new 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.
These pillars of neoliberal economics well deserve overturning on their own (lack of) merits. Because of the climate crisis, transforming the global economy for the better now seems very possible.
An interesting and upbeat talk with many good specific examples.
Klein spoke in Montreal on September 16, 2014. Original recording courtesy of CKUT Community News, CKUT-FM, Montreal. Many thanks for it.

New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "first floor") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
