The Financial Crash and the Climate Crisis
The New Yorker Radio Hour 
About this episode
<p>Ten years after the financial crash of 2008, the economy is humming along, with steady growth and rising employment. Yet that crisis continues to shape our world, particularly through the rise of right-wing populism and the ever-worsening climate crisis. Jill Lepore, Adam Davidson, and George Packer talk with David Remnick about how we got here. Two Florida real-estate experts explain why short-term thinking rules the day, and the former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson explains why he has embraced the idea of imposing a carbon tax. </p> <p> </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
