Yay or Nay?

An extreme position in the environmental movement is that activists should be engaged in deliberately trying to hasten the collapse of the global economic system. Nothing short of complete collapse, they argue, can save the rest of life on Earth from human rapaciousness and stupidity. In a debate recorded at the 16th annual Sustainable Living Festival in Melbourne, Australia, six thought leaders (including two C-Realm guests) weighed in on whether there is any sensible reason to advocate the collapse of the global economy. No one said yes, but only one person answered with a simple no. Hear some of the nuances that cannot be contained within a simple yay or nay in this episode of the C-Realm Podcast.
