Show Notes
This is the 8th episode of the Georgist podcourse, this month looking at green economics in the context of the green new deal. Along the way we look at the yellow jackets movement, Australia’s carbon tax history, the pros and cons of the various carbon pricing systems and then look at the holistic reform needed to unify carbon taxes with inequality, sprawl and resource plundering. Thanks to AOC for the sound grabs.

Christorpher Ketcham: Letter from Paris on the yellow jackets:
Their war against the rich, in the age of climate change, is one driven by an understanding unique among protest movements in France: that the privilege to lord and the privilege to pollute are one and the same, and that confronting the climate crisis means a confrontation with unregulated capitalism. It is a call to arms that should resound across the world.
