Q: You write about the way the crises of our time — of resources, climate, financial system – fit together. How do they fit together, and why is it important to see them that way?
A: The crisis of our time – financialization, the questions of income and wealth and inequality, climate change, droughts, ocean acidification and so on – we need to answer how all of those questions fit together, how they are connected. Otherwise, we end up seeing the problem in a deeply fragmented way, which is exactly how the ruling classes of our time want us to see it. We live in a world that is made by rationality, but a particular kind of rationality. It is a rationality of fragments, although it has the appearance of being holistic, because you can quantify, you can subject everything into an algorithm. We need to move beyond fragments and see how things are connected.
