We’ll spend the hour with Christian Parenti on his new book “Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence.” In his book, Christian explores the potential future of the global regions in and around the earth’s equator – between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. He does so by examining history, in particular the West’s dangerous imposition of neo-liberal economic models that privatized and crippled whole economies, and pervasive militarism that is increasingly restricted to counter-insurgency and the “social mutilation” it engenders.
