Jamie and Sam are joined by author and academic Adam Greenfield to discuss his new book Lifehouse: Taking Care Of Ourselves in a World On Fire, out now on Verso. In it, Greenfield makes a well-supported case that world governments will not be able to get a handle on climate change in time to stave off widespread catastrophe. He then examines past mutual aid efforts including Occupy Sandy in New York City, Common Grounds in post-Katrina New Orleans, post-austerity solidarity networks in Greece, and programs put on by the Black Panther Party. In these moments, Greenfield identifies modes of solidarity and participatory democracy that might become the building blocks of a new society. In his final chapter, he sets forth a bold proposal for a confederated network of lifehouses.
