Another round: The problem with George Monbiot's solution to the climate crisis
Recent crises have exposed the weaknesses of globalisation and its hyper-extended supply chains. These shocks will only increase in frequency as climate change further destabilises the planet, inducing famines and the mass movement of people escaping extreme weather events. Human activity is the root cause of these problems - including the industrialised way in which we farm. Chris Smaje proposes agrarian localism as a radical alternative: the construction of many, many small-holdings across the UK, with enough land to grow food and raise livestock for the people that live in them.

Another round: Why capitalism doesn't need democracy with Quinn Slobodian
In Liz Truss' disasterous mini budget, she promised to rip up the so-called economic orthodoxy, slashing taxes, in an effort to make Britain a country more like Singapore - but one where you're allowed to chew gum. The ideas that Liz Truss was so determined to implement can be found in practice all over the world: in zones where capital can run unburdened, free from the limits of pesky, old democracy. And, the British right are still looking to them for inspiration. Ed Campbell explores the story of these zones in this interview with professor and author Quinn Slobodian.
