Disaster Capitalism - GAF Does Lockdown Episode 1

What do the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the 2004 East Asian tsunami, and the COVID-19 crisis have in common? They all made a lot of very rich people a hell of a lot richer. From Halliburton to James Dyson, capitalists use disaster to funnel public money into their own pockets and shape public policy to suit their needs, aided by politicians and the media. Join GAF for a discussion of neoliberalism, disaster capitalism, and how it all relates to COVID-19. The Green Anti-Capitalist Front is an alliance of groups and individuals united by a belief that capitalism is one of the core causes of the environmental crisis threatening us all, and that if we do not act soon the costs of that crisis will fall on the poor and powerless. - Website: https://greenanticapitalist.org/ - Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gaf_london/about - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GAfront/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrontGreen - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gafront/
