new economic thinking channel, are you posting/will you ever post these Live sessions for later viewing? I am in a different time zone and i can hardly ever watch the live streams, and these little clips afterwards always leave me wanting more!!

Big global problems like climate change couldn’t address without governments. We can make some changes in our lives but that’s not going to save the world. I like the dean’s activism though
