TRA LE PALE DEI MULINI – EP.19 – DI CLIMA, DI DEBITO E DI ALTRE SCIOCCHEZZE
In this episode, the podcast weaves together reflections on two crucial and often separately discussed themes: the climate crisis and economic debt. The episode opens with a direct and critical tone, highlighting how global financial structures—based on the systemic indebtedness of countries in the Global South—pose a concrete obstacle to climate justice.
The episode features a reading of excerpts from David Graeber’s book Debt: The First 5,000 Years. The selected texts provide a historical and anthropological context for the concept of debt, showing how it is not merely a financial matter, but a cultural and political construct deeply rooted in power relations.
