This week Andrew and Lucy are reviewing Now, the People! Revolution in the Twenty-First Century, by the French politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
They discuss Mélenchon's idea of "the People", how climate change is sown into this book and whether Mélenchon’s focus on population levels is necessary for his analysis. Plus we ask, is Mélenchon a degrowther?
