Half Earth Socialism "We need to be humble in the face of unknowable nature"

It's gonna take some big ideas and even bigger actions for humanity to swerve the 2°C warming climate catastrophe coming down the road. So this week we're taking half the world away. Joining us on the podcast are Drew Pendergrass (@pendergrassdrew) and Troy Vettese (@TroyVettese) the authors of "Half Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change, and Pandemics".  Their book combines half earth re-wilding and the rich history of Utopian Socialism to illustrate a way of saving the earth from humanity and combating our hubris and domination of nature itself. We discuss the works of Otto Neurath, Leonid Kantorovich and Stafford Beer; using neoliberal thinking against neoliberalism, how and why Malthusian ideas on over-population are embedded into society and the problems that arise from it, and how to  create more efficient food chains through global veganism.LinksPick up a copy of half earth socialism from Verso books Here Check out Drew and Troy's website for more info: https://www.half.earth/Play the Half Earth Socialism the gamehttps://play.half.earth/Shout outsUAWD - United All Workers for  Democracy @UAWD_ReformTroy's girlfriend XinyueMinesh Parekh - congrats on being elected for Crookes and Crosspool in Sheffield@min_eshFianna Hornby GND Councillor elected for Gorse Hill in Trafford@fiannahornbyAngela Brown GND Councillor elected in Heywood@Angel4brown598Support the show
