Rising unemployment, increased military spending, and a decline in living standards for most people, including the middle class: the description fits both the 1930s and the 2020s. In the 1930s, it was a situation that morphed into the destruction and horror of the Second World War. On Downstream with Aaron Bastani this week is Clara […]
Trillions of dollars of AI build-out. An economy poised on the edge of a giant crisis. Some say it's a bubble. But what if it's an entirely new kind of economics? One that has no need of humans at all? Marek Poliks is the co-author with Roberto Alonso Trillo of Exocapitalism: Economies with Absolutely No […]

A TUTTA C con Daniel Uccellieri. Ospite: Filippo Lorenzini - Difensore Novara
Nearly all of us on Earth live within a ‘nation-state'. Nation-states are an invisible and seemingly inevitable and eternal part of the infrastructure that forms our society: the water we swim in. Rarely do we pause to consider how this global system of nation-states came into being, and what might replace it after its gone. […]
Have the Greens got what it takes to become the main political vehicle of the radical left? Following their Trip episode on Ecology, the ACFM crew take a closer look at Zack Polanski's party as it nudges past Labour in the polls. From the '60s dream of ‘steady state economics' to the anarcho-green convergence of […]
The US military is changing shape: it's increasingly high-tech, intelligence led, and focused on assassinations. In short, the Israeli model. And the changing shape of war means changing flows of money and power. The primes, which have dominated the military industrial for decades, now face competition from Silicon Valley companies like Palantir and Anduril. But […]
Anna Maria D'Ambrosio"In cammino"Antenati nomadi, migranti, girovaghi e itinerantiInterlinea Edizioniwww.interlinea.comMolto prima che i nostri emigranti sognassero la Merica, si registrava in questa parte di mondo, ora chiamata Italia, la presenza diffusa di uomini, donne e bambini in cammino. Chi erano questi antenati nomadi, migranti, girovaghi e itineranti? Eterni poveri, in prevalenza contadini. Con ogni mezzo, lasciavano il loro paese per tentare altrove la sorte. Chi vendeva la forza delle proprie braccia, chi mercanzie o spettacolo di strada e chi non aveva niente da vendere. Erano braccianti, mondariso, spazzacamini, ambulanti, orsanti, cantastorie, burattinai, vagabondi e camminanti. Una population flottante di antico regime di cui si sta perdendo la memoria, anche per la mancanza di una documentazione scritta, poiché questi poveri erano analfabeti. In cammino racconta la maestria di ogni singolo mestiere e l'attitudine alla mobilità dei nostri antenati quale unica risorsa per sfuggire alla miseria.Anna Maria D'Ambrosio, nata a Novara, dove vive, si è laureata in Pedagogia presso l'università di Torino. Nel 2011 ha vinto il premio Rhegium Julii per l'inedito di poesia con la raccolta Costretti a calpestare l'erba. Con Interlinea ha pubblicato il suo libro d'esordio, la raccolta poetica Di fiori e di foglie (2013) e il romanzo Devi solo cadere con me (2016). Nel 2016 ha inoltre pubblicato la raccolta di racconti Le parole del pettirosso (Giovane Holden Edizioni) e nel 2019 la silloge poetica Attorno a un giardino (Italic Edizioni). Nel 2020 pubblica, sempre con Interlinea, Vergine luna. Il tu nella poesia e nella preghiera, premio I Murazzi 2020. Nel 2022 esce il romanzo Ombra e nel 2024 la silloge poetica Cantico degli alberi, entrambi per Edizioni Ets. Per la sua opera letteraria ha ricevuto il premio Città di Arona 2024.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

The notion that the Global South is affected ‘first and worst' by global shocks they didn't cause, namely climate change, is one of the cornerstones of leftist thought. But what if it's not entirely true? What if, contrary to this tenet, it's wealthy Western nations who have over-developed and lost their resilience in the process? […]
Cheap food holds capitalism together. But to get it, we've had to cheapen almost everything on the planet: the work of women, nature and colonies. We've made strange new ecologies all over the world, and now we're living in the metabolic sh*tshow. How will the ruling class keep control? On this week's Do Your Own Research, […]
In 2001, Eric Schlosser published Fast Food Nation: an investigation into the toxic depths of America's food industry. Twenty five years later, the book remains an urgent intervention, as much for what it says about workers' rights as for our agricultural systems and dietary health. On Downstream this week, Ash Sarkar talks to Eric Schlosser […]
Are humans distinct from nature? Are there natural limits to inequality? Can you have action without effort? Do bacteria have agency? Jem, Nadia and Keir find themselves dwarfed by the concept of ecology in this planetary-scale episode, which touches on cybernetics, systems thinking, ecofeminism and actor-network theory. Their ACFM guide to ecological thinking includes ideas […]
Just a week ago, the architect of Starmer's rise to power, Morgan McSweeney, resigned over his connections to Peter Mandelson, after further proof of Mandelson's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein emerged in the newest batch of files released by the US Department of Justice. According to this week's guest, this scandal isn't an anomaly, but an […]
There's nothing in the world more important than the food system. The twentieth century was scarred by enormous famines – and, like the one in Gaza, they are still deliberately engineered. But since the 1970s, the absolute number of deaths from famine have dropped by over 90%. On a global scale, we now make so much food […]
On episode 282 of EHS On Tap, Michael Bruns, CEO of Novara, talks about putting the focus on workplace safety in high-risk industries.
When it comes to the relationship between capitalism and crime, those on the left generally think of exploitation. People often turn to crime, so the thinking goes, because they can't make ends meet by legitimate means. Whatever your views on that framing, there is also another – far less discussed – connection between capitalism and […]
Over the past three years, the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people has become a flash point for freedom of speech in the West. Expressing solidarity with Palestinians has given Western governments an excuse to crack down on dissenters. There has been intimidation and job insecurity at one end of the scale, through to brutal […]
This week, Donald Trump continued his streak of threatening tariffs against any country that opposes him, increasing the odds of an escalating trade war and further destabilising the global economic system. But according to this week's guest, the system is in desperate need of reform. Indeed, she thinks without a complete structural overhaul, it will […]
Our guest this week was born in 1943, in what was then British India – modern day Pakistan. Unlike most, who have learned history through books and second-hand sources, he has witnessed first-hand a great deal of the 20th and 21st centuries. Tariq Ali founded Verso Books, the leading left-wing publishing house in Britain, as well […]
