Global Capitalism’s Impact on Society and Environment: Insights from the 2024 Bergen Exchanges Book Launch

In this episode of Unequal Worlds, we discuss the intricate world of global capitalism by launching the book edited by Don Kalb titled “Insidious Capital: Frontlines of Value at the End of a Global Cycle.” The episode was recorded during the 2024 Bergen Exchanges on Law and Social Transformation.

Explore the pervasive influence of capital on societies, the environment, and everyday life. From the financialisation in China to the rise of Trump in the US, our experts dissect the complex relationships between capital, class, and labour. Gain insights into the environmental degradation caused by unchecked capitalist development and the role of creativity and knowledge industries in today’s economy.

Whether you’re a student, researcher, or simply curious about the dynamics of global capitalism, this podcast offers valuable perspectives and critical analysis.
