listen to an interview with progressive economist and academic Patrick Bond who offers a critical take on BRICS bank as an integral element to contemporary neo-colonial capitalism around the world, challenging claims that BRICS will act independently, pointing to the BRICS bank failure to address the recent moves to overthrow the PT (workers party) in Brazil.

also Patrick offers thoughts on the inter-connected relationship between economic systems of colonial capitalism and climate change, pointing to UN-drive market based solutions of carbon markets and carbon trading as failing to provide real alternatives to the burning crisis that faces the world.

this interview was recorded in Montreal during the World Social Forum by Stefan Christoff @spirodon for broadcast on CKUT @radiockut info via Free City Radio http://freecityradio.org
