336) Max Ajl: A deeper green new deal for the people

If the popularized vision of the Green New Deal were to be realized, how might that play out? And how do we contextualize the historical process of creating nation-states deemed as “underdeveloped”, “developing”, or “developed”? In this episode, we welcome Max Ajl, Ph.D, the author of A People's Green New Deal. Ajl is based at Wageningen University's Rural Sociology Group, and he is an associated researcher with the Tunisian Observatory for Food Sovereignty and the Environment. Ajl's academic articles and reviews on Middle East and North African agriculture and development theory have been published in Globalizations, Review of African Political Economy, Middle East Report, along with several in the Journal of Peasant Studies. The song featured in this episode is Fallen Stars by Desmond White.
