On this weeks podcast:

Joel Kotkin, described according to THE NEW YORK TIMES, is America's uber-geographer. an internationally recognised authority on global, economic, political and social trends.

We talk to him about what is now brewing in Silicon Valley, proposed in Toronto and implemented in China, that could be the role model for our future urban civilisation.

The book, THE COMING OF NEO FEUDALISM, is a warning to the global middle class and the future of the working class.

And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
