My friend Dr. Fiona Green stops by to discuss inequality, activism and capitalism. We discuss the outlook of university students and their prospects for the future. Young people everywhere a anxious and disillusioned by many things including climate change and home ownership, while the older generation seems to be in denial and a bit angry at the changing world. We also discuss Canadian reconciliation with indigenous peoples and the advancements of technology and its role in late stage-capitalism. This is a great conversation with a wonderful human being.
