Global capitalists wield philanthropy to monopolize and privatize land use, food production, and the public health sector. At this book launch event for Philanthrocapitalism and the Erosion of Democracy, Vandana Shiva and Heather Day discuss this dangerous trend—and how global citizens are fighting back. èßäÉçÇø! senior editor Chris Winters hosts the event and senior editor Breanna Draxler moderates the conversation.
