Can Economics and Politics Promote the Things We Truly Value?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Raj Patel, the author of The Value of Nothing: How to reshape market society and redefine democracy. Patel argues that the larger failure beneath the food, climate and economic crises is a political one. How do we need to re-think our economic mode to create a better society and political system? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How can we learn from other social justice movements around the world?

It's Your Call with Matt Martin and you.

Guest:
Raj Patel, a writer, activist, and academic. He is currently a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley's Center for African Studies, a researcher at the School of Development Studies at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and a fellow at The Institute for Food and Development Policy, also known as Food First.
