Applying the Pandemic Mindset to Climate Change with Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow, award winning author, technologist, and founder, joins Azeem Azhar to examine how the pandemic mindset around harnessing massive collective action and exponential technologies for the good of humanity could also help us mitigate climate change.

They also discuss:

• How Covid-19 exposed the need to reset the relationship between market and state.
• Why the predicted 20-30 percent unemployment rate will force dramatic government action in 2021.
