"When policymakers see things like climate change, peak oil, the economic crisis, or the fact that we’re reaching limits in food production, they try to deal with them in isolation instead of recognizing that these crises are fundamentals of a failing global system. Because of this ideology, because of these subliminal ideas, we’re straightjacketed, and we’re unable to respond in the way that we need to. Recognizing that, we need not just tinkering, but transformation of the system. But the question is, how do we do that? My view is that we need to go back to each of these crises, understand how they work, and how they’re so fundamentally interconnected."
