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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'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.
