Episode Description

Camilla is joined by Aaron Bastani, journalist from left-wing organisation Novara Media and self-confessed “luxury communist”.


The two argue the case about how much tax is too much, whether China can be classed as a success story for communism when the regime has overseen extensive human rights abuses as well as surveillance of it’s own citizens, and why Bastani thinks fracking isn’t the solution for cheaper energy.
