Naomi Klein: Rethinking Climate Change

"the problem is this ideology of short term growth and profits above all else" - Naomi Klein

Does the standard economic analysis which is being used to tackle climate change need a major rethink? Yes says Naomi Klein in her new book This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate. She argues that existing economic norms, make coming up with useful answers almost impossible and she says we will all, in the end, pay a high price.

Also on the show, when you think of Indian sport you probably think of cricket, so it's fascinating to hear from the 大象传媒's Rahul Tandon about the country's new football superleague. And Lucy Kellaway considers the notion of taking as much holiday as you can afford. Sounds like a good idea? There may be a catch.
