One that you might like is Climate Leviathan, a political theory of our planetary future by Jeff Mann and

Joel Wainwright. Despite the science and the summits, leading capital estates have not achieved anything close to an adequate level of carbon mitigation.

There is now simply no way to prevent the planet from breaching the threshold of 2 degrees Celsius, set by the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change.

What are the likely political and economic outcomes of this?

Where is the overheating world heading?

To further the struggle for climate justice, we need to have some idea of how the existing

global order is likely to adjust to a rapidly changing environment. Climate Leviathan provides a radical way of

thinking about the intensifying challenges to the global order. Drawing on a

range of political thought, Joel Wainwright and Jeff Mann argue that rapid climate change

will transform the world's political economy and the fundamental political

arrangements most people take for granted. The result will be a capitalist planetary sovereignty, a terrifying

eventuality that makes the construction of viable radical alternatives truly imperative.

Out now from Verso Books. Welcome to the Digg, a podcast from Jacobin magazine.

My name is Daniel Denver and I'm

broadcasting from Providence, Rhode Island. My guest today is Randy Bryce

aka Iron Stash, the Iron Worker and former Bernie Sanders delegate, running hard to

unseat the speaker of the house. Almost nothing short of fully automated luxury

communism by Christmas time

would bring me greater satisfaction than Bryce beating Paul Ryan.

Before we get rolling, please support this podcast at patreon.com slash the dig.
