From time to time there's an interview that fundamentally alters and enriches my understanding of how the world works. This is one of them. Professor of Economics at Denison University Fadhel Kaboub returns to Bad Faith to explain how developing Africa may be the key to the climate crisis as well as to the prosperity of a billion comrades on the continent -- but significant political barriers are in the way. Dr. Kaboub explains how America is failing catastrophically to stop climate change, how China shows a different path forward, and why anticapitalist global solidarity movements are necessary to save us all.
