Historic hurricanes, weeks of fires in major metropolises, the warmest year on record... Climate change has become a unifying crisis in not only the United States but across the globe. Join us to talk to acclaimed writer Malcolm Harris about his new book What's Left, which takes up several alternative ways through the climate crisis. From liberal marketcraft to communist revolution, Harris explores various alternatives for resolving the seemingly unresolvable tensions between the environment and global capitalism today. Throughout his book, Harris investigates the linkages between climate and migration, profiteering and "natural" disasters, and political economy and the environment. The result is a galvanizing and hopeful look at the work ahead for solving the climate crisis in the rich tradition of Mike Davis and David Graeber.
