#080 Kev & Katy: Capitalism and the Climate Catastrophe

Friday, 14 August 2026 - 5:30pm to 6:30pm
"Capitalism is a public sector project"

Kev and Katy tackle the big questions of our time.

If global warming threatens us all, and global warming is driven by capitalism, what can we do about it? How do we change our political economy? Reform, revolution, or something else?

They look at how wealth accumulates, and go on to unpick the relationship between capital and the state.

The Global Food Crisis of 1972-75
"In the early 1970’s, Canada, the US, and Australia enacted agricultural policies that subsidized farmers by paying them to NOT grow grain. The purpose of these policies, such as the Agricultural Act of 1970, was to intentionally lower the global stock of grain, thus driving the price up exponentially."
