Episode #59: A Snapshot of Chinese Agriculture with Mike Mulvaney

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Being in a foreign land for a short time is an excellent way to get a rapid fire snapshot of the country and its inhabitants. In this episode I am joined by Mike Mulvaney, who in May of 2009 paid a one month visit to China on a study of plant genetics. Mulvaney’s observations and musings about Chinese agriculture offer a momentary glimpse into the Far Eastern agricultural society in the early 21st century.

Episode #57: Gandhian Economics with George Mokray (Part I)

Monday, July 13th, 2009

For episode #57 I am joined by George Mokray, who has read and written extensively about Gandhian economics. Gandhi is often remembered for his civil disobedience and non-violent approach to ending British imperialism, but his economic thought and philosophy is perhaps more fundamental to his strategy for personal and communal liberation. More relevant than ever before, Gandhi’s thinking must be studied and internalized by those who wish to promote real change in our society.
