Speaker: Professor Graham Priest (Melbourne University)

If in 1908 someone had thought about what the 20th century - surely one of the most traumatic on written record - held for people, they could have had little idea. We are now in the same position with respect to the 21st century. One thing is already clear, however. We are in deep environmental trouble. Marx predicted the collapse of capitalist economy. He way well have been right, though for the wrong reasons. This talk is an attempt to think through the implications of all this.
