In this recent interview on Novara Media, Aaron Bastani gets into conversation with Jason Hickel, political economist and degrowth advocate from Britain. Among several other topics, Hickel points out why democratic planning of our economies is essential to regain control over society’s productive capacities to mitigate the escalating ecological and social crises while also meeting the basic needs of the exploited classes in both the capitalist center and the colonial periphery.
