There’s a splendid commentary up at The Commoner, where Massimo De Angelis offers a fine analysis of the fiasco unfolding in Copenhagen, and why bringing the ‘atmospheric commons’ under market rule will not end well.

I should have been posting a little more than I have over the past week or so, but I’ve been murderously busy with the UK publicity tour for The Value of Nothing which ended gloriously this morning with a five minute crossing of swords on BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme. I’m heading to Malawi today, which means being offline for a week or two, but when I come back, expect thoughts on Copenhagen, economic recovery, and how much you can eat for $1 a day.
Cineforum Climate Change Conference event, discussion on new economic paradigms, with Malini Mehr. More information here. Wallacespace, 22 Dukes Road, London, WC1H 9PN
