Description

On this episode Monica Richards is joined by Mathew Lawrence, co-author of Planet on Fire. We explore the climate crisis via an ecosocialist lens from different analytical points: its relationship with power, neoliberalism, the "tyranny of no alternative", Covid-19, and compounded risks that have arisen. 




"We now face an environmental crisis. This book sets out the scale of the emergency as well as marks out the route to a better society. It is an essential read."


-John McDonnell, Labour MP




"Reading Planet on Fire feels like traversing a humming, interdependent ecosystem of ideas, porous to the post-crash movements and thinkers shaping today's progressive environmentalism ... Starkly realistic whilst unflinchingly radical, Planet on Fire is a guidebook of hope for this crucial decade."


-Flora Parkin, LSE International Development
