On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to world-renowned American dissident and co-author of ‘Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal’ Noam Chomsky. He discusses why a Green New Deal is the most important project in human history amid the climate emergency and Covid-19 pandemic, how a Green New Deal would help to radically restructure the economy to benefit the majority after the coronavirus economic collapse, the role of corporations and big banks in the climate crisis, the state of capitalism and the American population through the Trump and Obama years, the 2020 presidential election (Donald Trump vs Joe Biden) and the choice between Biden’s neoliberalism and Trump’s White House, which he says poses an existential threat to us all, the threat of nuclear war, Julian Assange’s US extradition hearing which will start on September 7, and more!
