Talk by La Banda Vaga on the Necessity of a Planned Economy in the Climate Catastrophe

This talk is part of a larger series of talks about democratic economic planning in times of the climate catastrophe, hosted by the german council-communist-anarchist group La Banda Vaga in Freiburg, Germany. They have previously published an article calling for an anti-authoritarian councilist planned economy.

You can find the other talks in this series via this link. We will also post them as events as their date approaches.

The description is taken from the event’s website and translated into english:

“The climate crisis is omnipresent. However, neither the state nor the market are in a position to counteract the climate catastrophe. On the contrary, it is precisely their actions that are escalating the situation. In contrast, in recent years voices have become louder calling for rational economic planning. In our lecture, we want to present a critique of the market-based attempt to deal with the climate catastrophe and a sketch of a democratically planned economy that could actually do something to counter today’s challenges.”

The talk will be in German.
