No Matter What

KMO talks to Global Catastrophic Risk Institute researcher, Dr. David Denkenberger. David's forthcoming book, Feeding Everyone No Matter What: Solving the Food Crisis After Global Catastrophe, describes the technical feasibility of feeding everyone on Earth in aftermath of a calamity the wipes out conventional agriculture. He's careful to distinguish technical feasibility from political or economic feasibility. Later, KMO shares some thoughts on the incompatibility of capitalism and environmental stewardship from the Socialist Equality Party and with a brief clip from a conversation between Laura Flanders and Gar Alperovitz before closing with some unconventional thoughts on technology from SF author Karl Shroeder.
