CNN Radio's "In Depth" airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT. This week, Jarrett ponders the role of other cultures in creating extractive culture. He asks: Would people in other cultures have led the way if they'd had the power and technologies to do it? The answer is yes; but this isn't about a signing blame for the sake of a signing blame,. It's about understanding how we got here, so we can think more clearly about how we need to change.
