George Monbiot discusses the intricate power systems and secrets behind the climate and the financial world. He is an activist and investigative journalist who was shot at, sentenced to life in prison and stung into a poisoned coma by hornets.

James Altucher is simply one of the most fascinating people I’ve ever spoke to, so I had to get him on the show.
