“Workers increase their standard of living and increase their wages through the class struggle, but there's limits to what that can bear if the economy in which that class struggle is happening isn't growing and isn't producing surplus.” Christian Parenti Professor of Political Economy and Author of Radical Hamilton - Economic Lessons from a Misunderstood Founder Christian Parenti is Associate Professor of Economics at John Jay College, CUNY (City University of New York).

About Radical Hamilton: Economic Lessons from a Misunderstood Founder A dramatic re-evaluation of the founding of the United States and the history of capitalism--In retelling the story of the radical Alexander Hamilton, Parenti rewrites the history of early America and the global economy. For much of the twentieth century, Hamilton—sometimes seen as the bad boy of the founding fathers or portrayed as the patron saint of bankers—was out of fashion. In contrast his rival Thomas Jefferson, the patrician democrat and slave owner who feared government overreach, was claimed by all. But more recently, Hamilton has become a subject of serious interest again. He was a contradictory mix: a tough soldier, austere workaholic, exacting bureaucrat, sexual libertine, glory-obsessed romantic with suicidal tendencies—and pioneer of industrialisation. As Parenti argues, we have yet to fully appreciate Hamilton as the primary architect of American capitalism and the developmental state. In exploring his life and work, Parenti rediscovers this gadfly as a pathbreaking political thinker and institution builder. In this vivid portrait, Hamilton emerges as a singularly important historical figure: a thinker and politico who laid the foundation for America's ascent to global supremacy and mass industrialization—for better or worse.

In the seventh episode of the "Capitalism, Climate Change, and Culture" podcast series from GMU Cultural Studies, Richard Todd Stafford talks with Christian Parenti, who has written about climate change in The New York Times, The London Review of Books, The Nation, Jacobin, Dissent, and elsewhere. Parenti is an associate professor of economics at John Jay College of CUNY. Among others, he's the author of the book Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence and is working on books about Alexander Hamilton as a political theorist and about the state as an environment-making force. Stafford and Parenti discuss the role of the state in climate adaptation and mitigation.This podcast series is associated with George Mason University Cultural Studies' Colloquium Series. This year's series is called "Capitalism, Climate Change, and Culture." The industrial revolution liberated human beings from the cycles of nature — or so it once seemed. It turns out that greenhouse gases, a natural byproduct of coal- and petroleum-burning industries, lead to global warming, and that we are now locked into a long warming trend: a trend that will raise sea levels, enhance the occurrence of extreme weather events, and ultimately could threaten food supplies and other vital supports for modern civilization. This podcast series examines the cultural and political-economic dimensions of our ongoing, slow-moving climate crisis. We engage experts from a variety of fields and disciplines to ask questions about capitalism and the environment. How did we get into this mess? How bad is it? Where do we go from here? What sorts of steps might mitigate the damage — or perhaps someday reverse it? At stake are deep questions about humanity’s place in and relationship to nature — and what our systems of governance, production, and distribution might look like in the future. — Roger Lancaster, Colloquium OrganizerLearn more about the Cultural Studies Program at GMU: http://culturalstudies.gmu.eduLearn more about Christian Parenti: https://www.jjay.cuny.edu/faculty/christian-parentiMusic: Kevin MacLeod "Acid Trumpet," used under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. 

Rick & Gabe host a panel discussion on the state of the environmental movement and the widespread illusions within environmentalism concerning a return to nature as opposed to advancing to a higher level of civilization. The panel consists of two prominent authors and journalists: Leigh Phillips and Dr. Christian Parenti as well as Breakthrough Institute Fellow, Dr.Jennifer Bernstein. Dr. Bernstein is a long standing environmentalist and lecturer at the University of Southern California where she analyzes and addresses environmental problems and social justice issues. Leigh Phillips is the author of “Austerity Ecology and the Collapse Porn Addicts" and Dr. Parenti has won numerous journalistic awards and has received an Emmy nomination for the documentary Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi. His latest book is "Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence."

Joining me, once again, on this week's show is jack-of-all-trades, Christian Parenti. We talk about his work on climate change and the need to distinguish global warming as a subset of the broader ecological crisis. As he argues, we have the existing technology, policy platform, legal apparatus and economic system to address climate change today. We must tackle this impending crisis right now, rather than give in to cynicism or believe that we must wait until after we've defeated capitalism, altogether. It's a really important re-framing, and you're not going to want to miss it. In this episode, we discuss a couple of Christian's publications: -"A Radical Approach to the Climate Crisis" - https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/a-radical-approach-to-the-climate-crisis -Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence - http://www.christianparenti.com/tropic-of-chaos/ ----------------- If you like the show, consider becoming a Patreon subscriber at: www.patreon.com/deadpundits Find me on Twitter: @deadpundits and Facebook: www.facebook.com/deadpundits
