It's Cnn Who Really Should Hold Trump

I Think There Is A Danger That An Environmental Crisis Can Be Used In Precisely The Same Way As The Terrorist Threat Can Be Used In Terms Of Giving Up Freedom.

We Can't Leave Everything To The Free Market. In Fact, Climate Change Is, I Would Argue, The Greatest Single Free-market Failure. This Is What Happens When You Don't Regulate Corporations And You Allow Them To Treat The Atmosphere As An Open Sewer.

Public Infrastructure Around The World Is Facing Unprecedented Stress, With Hurricanes, Cyclones, Floods And Forest Fires All Increasing In Frequency And Intensity. It's Easy To Imagine A Future In Which Growing Numbers Of Cities Have Their Frail And Long-neglected Infrastructures Knocked Out By Disasters And Then Are Left To Rot, Their Core Services Never Repaired Or Rehabilitated.

It Is Eminently Possible To Have A Market-based Economy That Requires No Such Brutality And Demands No Such Ideological Purity. A Free Market In Consumer Products Can Coexist With Free Public Health Care, With Public Schools, With A Large Segment Of The Economy -- Like A National Oil Company -- Held In State Hands. It's Equally Possible To Require Corporations To Pay Decent Wages, To Respect The Right Of Workers To Form Unions, And For Governments To Tax And Redistribute Wealth So That The Sharp Inequalities That Mark The Corporatist State Are Reduced. Markets Need Not Be Fundamentalist.

People Without Memory Are Putty.
