Sarah Jaffe interviewed Kai Heron about their book, Radical #Abundance. We talked about #economic planning, #workers control, & the necessity of #revolutionary transition today.
#Labour 's wager that #economic growth will limit #Reform 's appeal is foolish. #Growth is slowing & won't bounce back by 2029 - falling #productivity, under #investment, an aging population, & the cascading effects of #ecologicalcrises are all beyond this government's control.
New research shows that #ocean #acidification has now crossed the planetary boundary. That's 7 of 9 boundaries crossed.
#Capitalism is driving #ecological catastrophe & will continue to do so until we align #production to a new law of value.
"it's far from clear that a mass of #Britons are calling out for #food coop committees & #socialist ping pong"
Living in an area where #communities are struggling with the #costofliving & a lack of #affordable family activities I can't stress how wrong this is.
We have this new paper, led by Meghna Goyal, which provides the first global view of #inequality in the #agriculture #food system. We find that #agricultural #production has increasingly shifted to the #South, but #income is increasingly captured in the #North.

In this new piece Jason Hickel argues that the #climatecrisis cannot be solved within #capitalism. I think we need to take this fact seriously & consider what it means for the #climate movement.
