Prof. Gar Alperovitz is one of the great minds of our time- He is Co-Founder of the Democracy Collaborative, longtime activist, author, and public intellectual. He says it's time for us to create the next generation political-economic system. What form might that take, and what can we ourselves do right now to make it happen?

Also, Thom welcomes Kenny Ausubel, journalist/filmmaker/author to discuss the Bioneers- this year an online conference that hopes to keep us from driving off a cliff both environmentally and civilizationally. What are the problems and solutions in front of us? And Dr. Mark Plotkin, author and co-Founder & President-the Amazon Conservation Team is on the show- how are the massive fires in the Amazon connected with massive fires in the United States? Should we be listening to indigenous peoples?

And Cole Stangler, Paris-based journalist covering labor & politics joins the show to bring us news of the citizen's movement taking the streets in France right now.
