Podcast of the Day/XE: Gar Alperovitz on the next US revolution

From our friends at The Extraenviromentalist Podcast. Alperovitz talks about the US, but his analysis applies worldwide. The episode also features a presentation by Stefano and Vera Zamagni on the co-op movement in Italy.

From the episode notes:

With a media ecosystem focused almost entirely the corporate system, burgeoning elements of a new economy revolution escape the mainstream eye. As our political systems stagnate in the face of ecological, energy and social crises, can an alternative to capitalism develop over the next few decades? Do ongoing experiments in money, society and energy have the ability to coalesce into a broader cultural shift?

In Extraenvironmentalist #63 we talk about the growing network of institutions and businesses that are forming the new economic revolution in the United States with historian and political economist Gar Alperovitz. Gar describes the ideas in his new book, What Then Must We Do: Straight Talk About the Next American Revolution. Then we hear from two of Italy’s leading economists Stefano and Vera Zamagni about the civil society model of a market economy.
