George Monbiot and Jeremy Lent — Yes, There Is an Alternative
Monbiot and Lent discuss what a life-enhancing future could look like beyond growth-based consumer capitalism on a regenerated Earth.
Why we picked this
Monbiot is one of the few writers who can make systemic economic critique feel urgent and personal — paired with Lent's deep-time perspective, this is a genuinely different conversation about what comes after growth.
George Monbiot, one of Britain’s most influential environmental writers, joins author Jeremy Lent for a conversation about alternatives to extraction-based capitalism. The discussion asks what the world might look like if it were organized not for elite wealth accumulation but to set the conditions for all beings to thrive on a regenerated Earth.
Monbiot brings decades of investigative journalism on environmental destruction and democratic failure. Lent, author of The Web of Meaning, contributes a systems-thinking perspective rooted in cognitive science and deep history. Free at RSA House.
