Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg continues the conversation about his book, The Doomsday Machine, talking about the changes in military strategy that allowed the targeting of civilians and how the arms industry pushed military expansion, which he goes on to relate to climate change.

Famous whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg discusses his book, The Doomsday Machine, which chronicles the tremendous threat to humanity that US nuclear war planners deliberately considered and whose plans he was going to leak instead of the Pentagon Papers, had it not been for the Vietnam War.

Christopher Cramer and John Sender, authors of the book, African Economic Development: Evidence, Theory, and Policy, discuss their book (co-written with Arkebe Oqubay) and how economic policy needs to be rooted in flexibly responding to changing circumstances and consequences, instead of dogma.
