My computer repairs are not yet finished but I though this show covered a question that never goes out of style and many recent listeners will have never heard it. The unemployment numbers are a regular feature of reporting and debate these days, which centers around "how to create jobs" but does not address the question of whether we really want a society that requires most to have "jobs" created by other people as opposed to work they do as they deem necessary and desirable. What is the result? One can go to a store and see a whole aisle of vile smelling laundry detergents that are all the same except for the packaging, but no one can "afford" to clean up polluted lands and waterways.

We start the show with an interview of Julian Darley by Matt Soltys in Guelph, who explains peak oil. As well as speaking of the geology and geography of the phenomenon, he addresses the social aspects, and remarks that he regards capitalism as "the worst system which has been foisted on the planet". In our second hour, after the end of the Julian Darley interview, and a David Rovics song, we hear Charles Stevens speaking at the first conference of Peak Oil and community solutions. An anthropologist, he speaks about the 'new agrarian movement' which connects to a vision of what never was, but whose time might have come.
