Part 2 :

By kind permission here is  recent interview with Kim Stanley Robinson by Radio Ecoshock Host Alex Smith .

As Alex says: Following the publication of “The Ministry of the Future”, Robinson toured internationally not to promote the book but to discuss it. He an ambassador for a novel – and for a future. Big Capitalists like Bill Gates blogged about Robinson’s book. The Financial Times reported his meetings with bankers, investors and even the military. Yet many of Kim’s books search for alternatives to Capitalism. Does Capitalism have to go, and is there any alternative? We discuss in the interview.
